What a great month of sand drag racing that we experienced in the month of May. We saw big events all across the country that produced a ton of great racing. NSDN is thankful for all of our supporters that enabled us to cover the Pro Truck Nationals Season Opener in Cleves, OH and the Atoka Heartland Nationals in Atoka, OK. Both of these events encompassed all that is good within our sport; the hospitality was second to none, the atmosphere was positive/friendly, and the on track action was excellent. Hopefully these events will continue to grow in the future.
