 We'll get ready to start your engines because the world's best drag racers and fastest cars are coming to Brainerd International Speedway. With more on the exciting weekend ahead, Clayton Castle has the preview. The NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals are upon us once again at the Brainerd International Raceway. The four-day nationally televised races bring together the best drag racers in all of America to compete for points towards the championship. Last year's winner, Brittany Force, is excited to be back. I'm excited to be out here at Brainerd. We won here last year, so the monster team, we're coming back. We want to, you know, hold on to that title and end up in the winner's circle again. That's our plan. Brittany, daughter of 16-time NHRA champion John Force, says Brainerd is a special and unique race and atmosphere for both racers and fans. Brainerd's, you know, Brainerd's quite a race. It's something special. It draws a crowd and it's a lot of fun, so we'd like to win here again. Minnesota native Jason Lyne will also be returning to Brainerd to compete in this weekend's races, hoping to rebound from a slow start to the season. If I was able to win here in front of friends and family, that would sort of erase the last, you know, bad 10 races, so, yeah, that'd be nice. While Jason has never won the Lucas Ho Nationals in Brainerd, he is hoping to do so this year in front of his family and friends. You know, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Last year really should have won the race year last year as well and just really made a big air in the final and it's one of those things, but one of these years, it's going to happen for me. The event features the on-site campground known as the Zoo, providing fans with an opportunity for all racing all weekend. As for Britney, she's looking to give the fans something else, a repeat championship performance. You know, it's going to be tough. The competition's always tough and, you know, with weather constantly changing, you never know what you're going to get, you know, going out on race day. I have a great team behind me with Alan Johnson, Brian Houston, and the entire Monster Energy team. You know, we're confident going in this weekend, especially coming off, you know, the win last year here.
