The National Finals for both the DragRacingOnline.com AA/FC Challenge presented by Lucas Oil and the Victory Performance Parts/DRO Nostalgia Super Stock Series are at historic Kansas City International Raceway Sept. 17-19. Full fields for both classes are expected with as many as a dozen nitro-burning AA/FC trying to make the eight-car field and as many as two dozen wheelstanding nostalgia Super Stockers qualifying for their race.

DRO/Lucas Oil Challenge regulars including Paul Romine (shown) driving his ’79 Mustang and Shawn Bowen wheeling his ’77 Pontiac Firebird -- first and second in points respectively -- will be joined by Chicago’s Anthony Bronge in a Camaro and Randy Baker driving Danny Miller’s Maverick.
