Exciting Entertainment On, Off Track

 

At IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series

 

Southern Nationals April 17-18 In Bradenton

 

 

 

 

NORWALK, OHIO (April 14, 2015) -- This weekend's IHRA Nitro Jam Southern Nationals presented by Sunoco Race Fuels at Bradenton (Florida) Motorsports Park promises to be a festive, if noisy, affair.

 

 

 

Every Nitro Jam spectator ticket also is a pit pass - affording the opportunity to walk right up to the Nitro Jam drivers and riders and see their cars and motorcycles. The racers always are happy to autograph their hero cards for fans of all ages.

 

 

 

On Friday evening, following Nitro Jam qualifying, the Carissa Biele Band (http://www.reverbnation.com/carissabiele) will perform a free concert for fans courtesy of Nitro Funny Car driver John Hale's Texas Nitro Barbecue Sauce and East Coast Tattoo. Biele is the co-host of the IHRA Nitro Jam TV shows on MAV TV. The band plays country and classic rock music and will release a new EP titled Crazy 'Bout You Baby on iTunes April 19. Evan Rogers plays lead guitar, Logan Ramp is on bass and Rick Brady plays drums.

 

 

 

A special attraction this year is the renowned Hollywood Cars of the Stars collection from the Miami Auto Museum at the Dezer Collection. The exhibit will include famous television and motion picture cars including the TV Batmobile from 1966, the General Lee Dodge Charger from the Dukes of Hazzard TV series and the DeLorean time machine from the 1985 cinema hit, Back to the Future.

 

 

 

Veteran television and radio personality Bill Stephens will begin his role as lead announcer for IHRA Nitro Jam events. Over his colorful 42-year career, Stephens - who also has authored three books - has been seen on CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic, Fox, Fox Sports Net, SPEED, The Discovery Channel, Discovery HD Theater, Velocity, The Outdoor Channel, The Family Channel, and HDNet. He has covered virtually every major automobile racing series, including drag racing, stock cars, Indianapolis cars, Sprint Cars and sports cars.

 

 

 

IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series

 

 

 

Nitro Jam is "heads-up" drag racing entertainment - first racer to the finish line wins - in all five pro categories. The exciting show includes qualifying and eliminations for: Crower Pro Mod, AMSOIL Nitro Funny Car presented by Aeromotive, U.S. Bounty Hunters Pro Stock, Nitro Harley and Jet Dragster classes. Speed records are expected to be shattered thanks to the Florida track's close proximity to sea level.

 

 

 

Nitro Jam also will include spectacular, flame-belching runs by the U.S. Fire Force jet-powered fire truck. The antique 1940 Ford fire truck is powered by not one, but two jet engines and its top speed of 407 miles per hour was recorded recently on a decommissioned WW II airstrip.

 

 

 

Fans may save money by purchasing tickets in advance. Kids (ages 6-12) tickets are only $10.
