The growth
of stock car racing throughout the
United States and our
geographic area has been nothing less then phenomenal. With this
growth, come new and exciting opportunities for race tracks,
businesses and interested individuals to become actively
involved in and with the Northern Late model Racing Association.
The NLRA is currently making plans for another great season of
dirt Late Model stock car racing.
The NLRA is
a group of professional Late Model drivers and owners who, in
their mission statement are: “Organized and Established for the
Betterment and Advancement of Late Model and All Racing…….” The
NLRA was founded by Late Model drivers in Northwest Minnesota,
Northeast North Dakota, and Southern
Manitoba
who are actively seeking tracks that would like to host the Late
Model drivers/owners and develop a competitive point fund to
reward those who join and participate with the NLRA. The NLRA is
an organization who cares about making the sport of auto racing
stronger for the many racers, fans, tracks and businesses now
and in the years to come.
Since the
very beginning, the NLRA has worked to continue competitive Late
Model racing in Grand Forks, North Dakota,
as well as add more nights of racing for the Late Models at
tracks willing to host this class of car. With local racing
shows in Grand Forks as a base for the 1999 season, the NLRA has
also established a “Tour” of Late Model races. Now with drivers
based out of Fargo, Bismarck, Alexandria, Jamestown, Grand
Forks, Canada and many other neighboring communities the NLRA
“Tour” has grown tremendously. In 1998, the initial season of
racing for the NLRA, the members of the NLRA purposely limited
the number of tour races to make sure that the NLRA shows were
quality events and that we did not get “over our heads” in
trying to operate our own Late Model teams as well as an
Association scheduling additional shows. These track and race
negotiations are continuing and are producing an excellent NLRA
Tour schedule.
We welcome
each and every opportunity to work with people such as you who
have interest in hosting or working with the NLRA! We look
forward to being a part of the auto racing in your community. If
there are any questions regarding any aspect of the Northern
Late Model Racing Association, please do not hesitate to contact
one of the officers or its members. Thank you for your interest
in Late Model racing and in the NLRA Event.
