In an effort to get ahead of potential rain on Sunday, race officials at the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&M Transmission started eliminations Saturday at Bradenton Motorsports Park. The headlining PJS Racing Outlaw Pro Mod presented by FuelTech class completed two rounds, as did Energy Manufacturing Limited Drag Radial presented by Callies Performance.
“We’ve got two rounds of eliminations done in some of our classes and one round of eliminations in the rest of the classes,” said Victor Alvarez, track owner and promoter. “We’ll have eight cars left in all of the classes tomorrow to finish this race out. We have a little weather in the morning that we are hoping doesn’t come, but if it does, we’re prepared to still finish the race on time.
“It’s been fast,” Alvarez added. “The competition is insane at this level. Everybody is putting up a really good show and fighting to win. IF you haven’t been here this weekend, you’ve been missing out. You’ve got one more shot. Get out here tomorrow and see who’s going to win. We’re going to have bunch of people in this winner’s circle and we’re going to be giving them a ton of money.”
One round of eliminations was completed in PST Driveshafts Pro 275 presented by Pro Line Racing, Mickey Thompson Tires X275 presented by Precision Turbo & Engine, TRZ Motorsports Ultra Street presented by Motion Raceworks, SP Tools Limited 235 presented by ICE Ignition, Summit Racing Outlaw 632 presented by Rife Sensors, the N/T Shootout, the N/T Truck Shootout, and the index classes.
