Beech Bend will be packed with a stampede of Ford’s and thousands of fans that are going to be treated to the best all-Ford racing of the year. The points chases in many of the NMRA classes are coming down to the wire, so every pass and every round will count towards those titles. Only at this event will you get to see these electrifying championships come to a close, and see who gets the hardware in the Aerospace Components Winners Circle on Sunday.

Besides all the exciting championship action, there is the world famous After Hours NMRA Grudge Night on Saturday, featuring Street Outlaws BoostedGT and Mike Murillo squaring off. NMRA Grudge Night also gives racers the chance to get in on the action and line up for cash or bragging rights. If you think that you have enough hustle to get the win when the clocks are off, the NMRA Grudge Night is for you.

If all that on-track action wasn’t enough, the Nitto Tire NMRA All-Ford World Finals has some great attractions away from the strip for everyone. You can check out the largest Manufacturers Midway of the year and get deals on all kinds of go-fast goodies. There’s also the largest UPR Products Late-Model and Early-Model Ford Car Show of the year with the best looking blue oval rides you’ll ever see.
