[coverattach=1]O’FALLON, MO (July 25, 2009) – The National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) announced its 2010 tour schedule today. With the exception of two minor weekend changes, the schedule essentially mirrors that of this season’s tour.
“Traditionally, we’ve waited to make this announcement at the end-of-year Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show, but with all the tracks and dates already agreed upon, we felt this early release would benefit our sponsors, fans and especially our racers in making their plans for next season,” National Guard ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling said.
The 2010 National Guard ADRL Tour will open once more at Houston Raceway Park, but one week earlier on Feb. 26-27, “just to get us going that little bit sooner,” Nowling explained.
The National Guard ADRL event at Memphis Motorsports Park will be one week later on May 28-29, just to remain on the Memorial Day weekend.
“We’re very excited about what 2010 holds for the National Guard ADRL,” Nowling continued. “The details are still to be worked out, but we may also add an 11th, non-points All-Star event next year that I think our fans and race teams will really enjoy.”
