NHRA Toyota Nationals Las Vegas Winners
One of the most fulfilling things about this sport is that it gives people the opportunity to travel the country and race at multiple different events; this includes the 16th Annual NHRA Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although I can’t make it to every event, I am still able to write/learn about different drivers that truly amaze me with their skills and success in such a fast-paced, competitive sport. Check out this week’s winners below!
