NHRA and Firebird Motorsports Park officials announced time changes for the upcoming Arizona Nationals drag races, which take place Friday through Sunday, March 20-22.
Taking an abundance of caution for the expected heat in the weekend forecast, racing in the Mission Foods Drag Racing Series will shift to earlier in the morning on each day, setting up a “Coffee and Nitro” weekend at the “Duel in the Desert.”
Friday qualifying will begin at 9:30 a.m. local time on Friday with Pro Stock, followed by Funny Car and Top Fuel. The second session is slated to start at noon.
