SEATTLE – WA – December 12, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Taking a new spot on the famed NHRA Western Swing, tickets are now on sale for the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series’ return to Seattle for the 34th annual Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals, which takes place July 21-23, 2023, at Pacific Raceways.
After returning to the scenic facility in the Pacific Northwest during the 2022 season for the first time since 2019, the popular event will take place as the middle race in the three-race Western Swing next year. The race has been the traditional conclusion of the trek that also includes stops in Denver and Sonoma for the past several years but will now move to the second race in the Western Swing, which begins in Denver.
Along with the incredible, heart-pounding action of 11,000-horsepower, 330-mph action in Top Fuel and Funny Car, the standouts in Pro Stock Motorcycle will also be making their first-ever appearance at Pacific Raceways, giving fans another marquee attraction to a race that has showcased NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series action for more than three decades.
