DALLAS, March 2, 2015 –This weekend’s NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Royal Purple Raceway has been rescheduled for June 19-21, 2015. Because weather forecasts for the weekend call for very cool temperatures in the area and rain for the majority of the event, RPR Track Officials and NHRA working together, opted to change the date with input collected from racers, sponsors, and fans.
“The cold temperatures and persistent rain forecasted for the Baytown area have us concerned,” said NHRA South Central division director Trey Capps. “We hope that by making the call this early we’ll save our racers some travel expenses.”
