The weekend will include appearances by IHRA’s current stars, as well as some of the best NHRA crossovers, including J.R. Todd, Melanie Troxel and Clay Millican in Top Fuel and Mike Ashley and Gary Densham in Nitro Funny Car.

“This will be an amazing nitro showcase, an unofficial all-star game, for Michigan racing fans to enjoy at Knoll-Gas Motorsports Park at US 131,” IHRA vice president of marketing Jim Marchyshyn said. “NHRA’s best will come over and take on IHRA’s best in the two nitro categories. We’ll also be running the Torco’s CompetitionPlus.com Pro Modified Shootout featuring the world’s quickest door cars.
