NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Battle Moves to Texas

The upcoming 35th annual AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals, which takes place Oct. 14-18, will provide drag racing fans with plenty of excitement. 

In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Andrew Hines is still looking for his first victory of 2020 on his Harley-Davidson FXDR, but he’s stayed in the championship hunt with a number of consistent performances. The reigning world champ has stayed within striking distance of points leader Matt Smith with a pair of final-round performances, but breaking through in Houston would be big. He has three wins at the track and a fourth would put him in a tie for the most in class history at the facility. With the season winding down, a much-needed victory would also set up a thrilling late-season duel with Smith and Scotty Pollacheck.

 

“I’m really proud of our team for being in the hunt for another championship,” Hines said. “I am excited about our chances since we seemed to have rectified a gremlin that has been slowing down my motorcycle. Also, my Harley-Davidson loves the weather from a sea-level race track, and those conditions could lead to my first 200 mph time slip. We are hoping to write more history for Harley-Davidson, and we look towards Houston to try and kick it into overdrive.”
