Event Preview: The NMRA All-Ford World Finals At Beech Bend Raceway

The 2017 NMRA season has been one for the record books and it’s ready to reach an exciting conclusion at the 19th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA All Ford World Finals. Beech Bend Raceway Park is going to be flooded with the fastest Fords you will ever see September 28- October 1, and you won’t want to miss any of the on track action. Every round of racing will be broadcast live RIGHT HERE on SpeedVideo.com!

When the NMRA Finals roll into Beech Bend Raceway there will be more than enough racing for fans to check out. There are multiple classes where the championships are still up for grabs, so you know the racers are going to push their cars to the limits to try and go some rounds.

The normal NMRA True Street class is overflowing with some impressive cars and trucks, but the Outlaw True Street class is where the big dogs run. These heavy-hitters are just too much for the normal True Street class and will run a 275/28×10.5 inch tire shootout with the clocks off to see who is the fastest. There will be big bets and great action on the track when these cars start running Saturday night!

If you’re a fan of Coyote-powered Mustangs then the Turbo Coyote Shootout will be something you need to see. This class is nothing but boosted Coyote madness with racers pushing their street cars as hard as they can in the quarter mile. You can expect to see records fall all weekend when these Coyotes start to howl.

The NMRA’s newest class, Modular Xtreme, will be hitting the track at Beech Bend Raceway and will bring the noise! You will see nothing but the fastest Modular and Coyote powered Fords in this class where the rules are simple, and they all are on a 275-inch tire. The boosted beasts in Modular Xtreme will be putting on a show you won’t want to miss.

There will also be specialty races like the Terminator / GT500 Shootout, TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout, and the EcoBoost Battle at the NMRA All Ford World Finals. If all of this Blue Oval racing wasn’t enough, the regular NMRA classes like Street Outlaw, Renegade, Coyote Modified, Coyote Stock, and many more will all be racing. When you aren’t watching racing you can check out the massive manufacturers midway and car show as well.

The 19th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA All Ford World Finals at Beech Bend Raceway Park will be the ultimate All-Ford event of the year. Make sure you’re on the property September 28- October 1 to soak it all in and see the exciting conclusion of the NMRA season. SpeedVideo will also be broadcasting the race live RIGHT HERE when the action begins Friday.
