Rain Forces NHRA To Move Winternational Finals To Phoenix

As the NHRA's Lucas Oil Winternationals crowd was anticipating the final rounds in Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, rain returned to the Southern California event mid-Sunday afternoon. Scattered raindrops turned to a thunder-and-lightning rainstorm, complete with hail.

With no respite from the weather radar in sight, officials decided to finish this second of 21 races on the Mission Foods Drag Racing Series at the April 5-7 Arizona Nationals at Firebird Motorsports Park, near Phoenix.
