NHRA REPOSITIONS TWO RACES ON 2010 FULL THROTTLE DRAG RACING SERIES SCHEDULE

HOUSTON, FIRST LAS VEGAS EVENTS SWAP DATES IN 2010
NHRA FULL THROTTLE DRAG RACING SERIES SCHEDULE

GLENDORA, Calif. (Aug. 31, 2009) - NHRA announced
today that it has repositioned two events on its 2010
NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series schedule.

The O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals in Houston has been
moved to the April 9-11 weekend, exchanging places
with the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which will now be held on
April 16-18. The move was necessary due to NASCAR's
anticipated 2010 schedule.

"We certainly want the fans in our area to be able to
take advantage of all the great entertainment
opportunities that the world of motorsports has to
offer in the great state of Texas," said Seth Angel,
general manager of Houston Raceway Park.

Said LVMS President Chris Powell: "Shifting the NHRA
Summitracing.com Nationals back one week works well
for everyone. Our spring race is one of the marquee
stops in drag racing each year, and it's hard to top
Las Vegas weather in mid-April. So we're happy to
accommodate this move by the NHRA."

Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is the primary
sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the
United States. It presents 24 national events through
its NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series. NHRA has
80,000 members and 140 member tracks. The
NHRA-sanctioned sportsman and bracket racing series
provide competition opportunities for drivers of all
levels. The NHRA develops the stars of tomorrow by
offering the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NHRA
Summit Racing Series and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal
Style presented by AAA. NHRA also offers the Jr. Drag
Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17.
