NORWALK , Ohio — Speed is the goal this weekend in Norwalk as world-renowned racers hit the track at Summit Motorsports Park for the 18th Annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.
It's a drag racing series to get excited about—eight-time Top Fuel world champion Tony Schumacher can attest to that. "We've been in Norwalk for 18 years. I won the inaugural race. The track's been here longer than that, it just wasn't on our circuit," Schumacher said."It's such a great race track and it's so Midwest and so 'regular people' and we just love coming here, man. Fireworks show is always great, kids love the ice cream that they provide and it's a heck of a place to come spend your money.
Schumacher hopes to be holding new hardware in that winner's circle, but for him, seeing Northeast Ohio fans in the stands is bigger than any trophy.
