HICKORY, NC - The annual NDRA awards banquet will be held on Saturday night January 14th at the Hickory Metro Convention Center in conjunction with the inaugural Carolina Auto Racing Show (CARS).
Ron Parker and Kyle Strickler will be honored as 2011 NDRA champions. Parker for his amazing 2011 season that saw the Belwood, NC native rack up over 25 wins. Strickler's recent victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway clinched the inaugural NDRA Modz point championship for the Mooresville, NC racer. Times for the event will be announced in the coming weeks.
“The CARS Show is the perfect venue for our banquet,” said NDRA President Larry Lee. “CARS will offer a location for all racers to be in one place for all the latest in racing technology and safety.”
CARS will allow vendors to showcase and sell new product and allow racers to gather in one central place to network, shop and see all the latest in speed trends for short track racing.
“There has been a need for a show for not only the professional racer but the weekly guy that supports his local short track,” said CARS Director Jimmy Schiltz. “We are very proud that NDRA will have their banquet as part of the inaugural show.”
There will be a one day and two day pass available and more information concerning the show will be released in the coming weeks.
