MARTIN, Mich. (Sept. 20, 2026) – The elimination rounds of the inaugural NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series NHRA Great Lakes Nationals have been rescheduled to Monday, Sept. 21, after persistent rain and wet conditions Sunday forced the postponement of all on-track activities at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park.
