When it comes to grassroots, Motorsports no group is more dedicated and passionate than the NHRA Sportsman Racers. In the northeast, Sportsman racing is better known as a religion with many national championships being won from the northeast. On the weekend of September 12th and 13th, many racers from all over the country traveled to Maple Grove Raceway for the revival of the .90 Nationals and Top Shootout.
