INDY – The 67th annual NHRA U.S. Nationals was slightly different than in the past as the COVID pandemic shifted rules, guidelines, and the schedule. Even with all the changes, just shy of 900 racers flocked to INDY for a shot at the coveted U.S. Nationals Wally. While the schedule was shortened, the event still felt like a marathon after racers were up early each day as the sportsman classes began at sunrise!

In addition to the U.S. Nationals eliminations, racers also competed in the JEGS Allstars specialty event. The team from Division 5 outlasted the other six divisions to claim the team title.

As for final eliminations at the U.S. Nationals, the Emmons brothers from Pasadena, Texas took center stage as Terry claimed the Super Stock title while brother Jerry took home the Stock title. 2019 Top Dragster world champ Danny Nelson continued his strangle hold on the field as he raced to the class win. Bracket racing superstar Troy Williams Jr. proved he also knows a thing or two about index racing after outlasting the Super Comp field.

Other winners included Jason Coan (Comp), Ray Sawyer (SG), Raymond Miller (SST), Dusty Meyer (TS), and Aaron Stanfield (FSS).
