NHRA's At BIR This Week

Brainerd International Raceway comes alive with big speed and big noise this weekend. The Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals will be held Thursday through Sunday on the strip north of Brainerd. Some 50 thousand race fans are expected. Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl says they are ready for the influx.

There are several classes of competition making a money run, from Top Fuel to Motorcycle. The drags have been a featured event at the track for nearly 40 years.
