Adrenaline junkies converging on zMAX Dragway for the April 26-28 NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals should prepare for two additional enhancements to an already-packed entertainment lineup.
As is its legacy, the Bellagio of drag strips has raised the bar further - adding an extraordinary East10Drift exhibition offering smoke-billowing drift shows and hair-raising ride-alongs to what's expected to be one of the most memorable race weekends in the history of the world-class dragway. April's 44,000-horsepower showcase of nitro-fueled drama will also introduce the Mountain Motor Pro Stock division to zMAX Dragway, as the stars of one of drag racing's most spectacular divisions prepares to tackle America's Home for Racing for the first time.
"Like the original Bellagio, zMAX Dragway is constantly evolving and expanding its lineup of entertainment," said Greg Walter, the executive vice president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway. "We're just like our fans: we want to see new, loud, exciting and awe-inspiring attractions at the drag strip. We believe that giving fans the chance to shred rubber in an East10Drift ride-along before they experience the raw power of Mountain Motor Pro Stock will exceed those expectations. We're going to be in for a show."
In addition to zMAX Dragway's two newest attractions, fans in attendance will witness John Force, Antron Brown, Ron Capps, Brittany Force and the world's best Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle and Pro Mod racers as they rocket four-wide down zMAX Dragway in the world's first four-wide event of the season.
Fans can also enjoy unprecedented access to their favorite drivers, cars and teams as well as hours of fun in the sprawling midway.
