NHRA: The 50th Amalie Motor Oil Gatornational: Where to Watch

The 50th Annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornational is the third of 24 events in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. There are drivers in four categories: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle. All will look to earn points leading that could lead them to a 2019 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series world championships.

The 2018 event winners were Richie Crampton (Top Fuel), Jack Beckman (Funny Car), Tanner Gray (Pro Stock); and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle). All but one will look to repeat as winners with Tanner Gray stepping away from the sport at the end of the 2018 season.
