Set once again for Father’s Day weekend, the June 14-16 Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway provide one of the most unique experiences in motorsports.

Race fans are treated to exciting moments throughout the weekend in Thunder Valley.

Friday’s racing is highlighted with what is one of the most exciting events in racing, qualifying under the lights in Thunder Valley. Night qualifying at Bristol Dragway provides fans an unparalleled spectacle as the 8,000 horsepower, nitro-powered, earth-shaking machines light up the night and roar through the valley at speeds in excess of 320 mph.

Saturday features a full day of racing action, capped by what has become one of the best-attended autograph sessions on the NHRA circuit. In 2012, more than 25 drivers came to collect autographs from the biggest names in the sport. The event takes place in Nitro Alley following the conclusion of Saturday’s final qualifying rounds.

On Sunday, race fans celebrate Father’s Day in style with Final Eliminations at the Thunder Valley Nationals. Bristol Dragway officials have created a few offers to help make the day even more special. Adult tickets begin at just $20 for Sunday. Additionally, Bristol Dragway will give two free junior tickets for each advance adult ticket purchased by Thursday, June 13.

Feel the Top Fuel Dragsters as they race through this picturesque valley at speeds in excess of 300 mph. Watch the Funny Car pilots ride their 8,000 horsepower machines like bucking broncos and see just how tight the action really can be in the Pro Stock series.

Then, take in the behind-the-scenes action with your full-access pit pass. This truly is one of the premier events in the series.  You don’t want to miss it!
