The 2019 Xtreme Dragbike Association (XDA) ultimate battle is scheduled for Sept. 20-22, at Maryland International Raceway (MDIR) for the 27th annual DME Racing Fall Nationals.

In the sixth and final battle of the year, twelve classes and over 800 racers will compete for the 2019 XDA Championship titles. The DME Racing Fall Nationals will feature 6-second, 220+mph Pro Street Motorcycles, 7-second, 190-mph Real Street bikes, 3-second eighth-mile Pro Xtreme motorcycles, and the "Running of the Bulls" Grudge Shootouts.

This event for the first time will feature a Second Chance race for all first-round losers of the 32-bike field, with no entry fee and a $1,000 payout. And for racers that don't qualify for the show, XDA will be run a B class that pays out $100 to the winner.

A re-energized John Force will compete at the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals presented by Pennzoil with a chance to win his 17th Funny Car championship. After the points were re-racked for the six-event Countdown, he is only 20 points behind the leader, teammate Robert Hight.

After a 38-race stretch during which he never climbed higher than No. 7 in points, the 16-time champion has been top three the last four months and top six all season long. His win last month in Seattle secured his 35th consecutive Top 10 finish and his 32nd season with at least one victory.  [09/12/19]
