Santa Ana, CA – The NMCA Flowmaster Muscle Car Nationals will reach a milestone next year as the series turns 25 years old and the 
celebration includes special events at every race in 2013. With a tighter schedule that will bring more heads-up traveling racers, and exciting special events, NMCA looks to have its biggest event season ever with drag racers and show competitors traveling from all around to celebrate the NMCA’s 25th anniversary tour.
NMCA will open its season with the 11th Annual NMCA Muscle Car Nationals at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida, March 21-24.

The yearly trek from northern cities culiminates in sun, fun, and high-flying action as racers in both series kick-off the season. The Florida destination makes this a popular event for the weather and the grand stage to debut the latest and greatest cars and combinations for the new season.
Next, the NMCA series will travel up the road to Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia, the weekend of April 11-14 for the 5th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals.

Nearly 600 cars hit the asphalt in search of glory and the prestigious NHRA Wally trophy. We call it the All-Star Nationals because of the record-breaking performances and the dueling 300 mph jet cars. Throw in a car show with over 300 vehicles and a massive manufacturers midway and you can see why this is the quickest growing race on the schedule.
