Summit Motorsports Park is affectionately known as "America’s Racetrack." There is no better place in the country better suited to hold the final event of the NHRA season to be held before the 250th anniversary of the United States. On the track, two new track speed records were set, and Ron Capps Motorsports swept the top fuel and funny car ranks. Photo highlights of the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals by Dave Oakes.
