MADISON, Ill. - Gateway International Raceway is hosting the NHRA
Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series this weekend, Friday through Sunday, on its
quarter-mile dragstrip. The event includes 280-mph injected
nitro-burning dragsters, top-alcohol dragsters, and top-alcohol funny cars, as well
as wheelstanding super stockers, 200 mph top sportsman and top
dragster machines and every other NHRA sportsman division. Over 500 enteries
