2018 NHRDA WORLD FINALS

Ennis, TX – The 2018 NHRDA World Finals stormed into the Texas Motorplex this past weekend, literally.  Between the sunshine on Friday night to the record rainfall and chasing tornadoes on Saturday to the sunshine on Sunday, the 2018 NHRDA World Champions were crowned at the NHRDA World Finals.

Friday night the Yukon Gear and Axle Sled Pulls got off to a great start in the Valair Clutches Limited Pro Stock Class where Dan Vallance and the Farm Truck took home the World Championship with an outstanding pull of 353.00 feet.

The South Bend Clutch Pro Stock World Championship went to Brad Ingram and the Scheid Diesel Dodge with a distance of 331.01 feet.  It was Ingram’s 2nd NHRDA World Championship and first since 2014.  In the Super Stock class it was defending World Champion Jim Greenway and his truck Luther taking home the World Championship with a pull of 326.07 feet. The Semi Truck class win went to Trevor Jackley and his Midwest Diesel Freightliner with a distance of 331.04 feet.

Saturday did not go as anyone planned.  The rain started around 8:30 am and didn’t relent until well into the evening.  But the real excitement started when the call came from the local sheriff’s office that the Texas Motorplex needed to be evacuated due to impending tornadoes that were headed towards the track.  Luckily they missed the facility but the drag racing had to be postponed until Sunday.
