National Sand Drag News - NSDN Archive National Sand Drag News (NSDN) is an online magazine covering the sport of sand drag racing. NSDN’s full array of up to the minute news and race coverage can be found online at www.NationalSandDragNews.com. Here is a brief explanation of what NSDN covers. The fast growing motor sport of sand drag racing consists of race cars that are very similar to their asphalt drag racing counterparts racing down 300 feet long (100 yard) tracks with a sand/dirt surface. The headliners of the show are the Nitro-burning Top Fuel dragsters that cross the finish line in under 2.5 seconds and reach speeds in excess of 160 MPH. Although the Top Fuel cars are the headliners of the show, multitudes of grass roots bracket racers compile the largest racer group in the sand. NSDN focuses on the hottest properties in sand drag racing, including coverage of the Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) series and other large independent events. Other large independent races across the country are also covered. NSDN covers these events with live race updates, race results, news, features, race videos, and photos. https://nsdn.us/index.php 2024-04-28T15:32:47+00:00 National Sand Drag News editor@nsdn.us Joomla! - Open Source Content Management Atoka Heartland Nats '19 Race Results 2019-05-25T22:44:09+00:00 2019-05-25T22:44:09+00:00 https://nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1043&catid=150&Itemid=55 Administrator editor@nsdn.us <b>21st Annual Heartland Nationals<br /> Atoka Motorsports Park - Atoka, OK<br /> May 24-26, 2019</b><br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/HeartlandNats19Logo.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 236px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /><b>Full Results</b><br /> <br /> <b>Top Alcohol</b><br /> 1st-Randy Kimbley<br /> <br /> <b>Top Eliminator </b><br /> 1st-Randy Kimbley<br /> 2nd-John Pate<br /> 3rd-Terry Glasscock<br /> 3rd-John Acker<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 1 Cars</b><br /> 1st-John Acker<br /> 2nd-Danny Mathews<br /> 3rd-Jim Fletcher<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 1 Quads</b><br /> 1st-Branden McDonald<br /> 2nd-Craig McNiel<br /> 3rd-Tommy Springer<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 2 Cars</b><br /> 1st-Jimmy Smith<br /> 2nd-Karl Ford<br /> <br /> <b>21st Annual Heartland Nationals<br /> Atoka Motorsports Park - Atoka, OK<br /> May 24-26, 2019</b><br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/HeartlandNats19Logo.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 236px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /><b>Full Results</b><br /> <br /> <b>Top Alcohol</b><br /> 1st-Randy Kimbley<br /> <br /> <b>Top Eliminator </b><br /> 1st-Randy Kimbley<br /> 2nd-John Pate<br /> 3rd-Terry Glasscock<br /> 3rd-John Acker<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 1 Cars</b><br /> 1st-John Acker<br /> 2nd-Danny Mathews<br /> 3rd-Jim Fletcher<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 1 Quads</b><br /> 1st-Branden McDonald<br /> 2nd-Craig McNiel<br /> 3rd-Tommy Springer<br /> <br /> <b>Pro 2 Cars</b><br /> 1st-Jimmy Smith<br /> 2nd-Karl Ford<br /> <br /> SCSDA May '19 Race Results 2019-05-18T08:55:00+00:00 2019-05-18T08:55:00+00:00 https://nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1042&catid=150&Itemid=55 Administrator editor@nsdn.us <span style="text-decoration: none"><b>SCSDA Marcus Norris Memorial Race<br /> Soboba Casino, San Jacinto, CA<br /> May 17-19, 2019</b></span><br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: none"><b>Full Race Results</b><br /> <br /> Congrats to all of the Winners from this event...<br /> Top Alcohol &ndash; Jim Hammond over Cory McClenathan<br /> Top Eliminator &ndash; 4 Cars Left.

Jim has a long history in the sport of sand drag racing dating back to the &#39;70&#39;s. He went on to campaign a Top Alcohol Funny Car on the asphalt before heading back to the sand in recent years. Over the past few seasons, Jim has guided the 2-car Pro Mod team with his son Jimmy and Dave Huffman piloting the Jeeps. Jim and Jimmy put their efforts together to set the A/Pro Jeep World Record back in October 2016 with an incredible 2.644 ET. They would also score the 2018 California Sand Drag Challenge Pro Mod class championship. But even greater than those accomplishments for Jim would be seeing the next generation of Depasse hit the track as grandson Cooper has become a top competitor in the Junior classes. Jim always brought a positive influence to the race track and will be greatly missed by all. We send our condolences to the Depasse Family and Friends at this time. </span></span><br /> <br /> {gallery}issue4-19/gallery-jimd{/gallery} <span style="text-decoration: none"><span style="font-weight: normal"><img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/JimD.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 185px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" />The sand drag community has been dealt another big loss with the recent passing of Jim Depasse.
