JEGS Speedweek found its way to National Trail Raceway over the weekend making for a week filled of racing.
Beginning the week with a day of testing, National Trail Raceway hosted JEGS Speedweek where the LODRS Division 3 race and the JEGS Sportsnationals were completed in the same week. Racers traveled from all over the country for a chance to win a special edition copper Wally.
