@IHRA •@CastrolRaceway • NORWALK, Ohio (July 13, 2016) – With the recent announcement about the elimination of the IHRA World Nationals from the 2016 schedule, the AMSOIL Nitro Funny and Nitro Motorcycle teams only have two more chances to bring home an Ironman and solidify their top spots in the point standings.

There is only a 60-point difference between current points leader Jason Rupert and fifth-place driver Tim Boychuk.

Here is a look at the points separation between the drivers:

1. Jason Rupert 342
2. Mike McIntire Jr. 336
3. Mark Sanders  316
4. Shawn Bowen 310
5. Tim Boychuk  282

In Parts Canada Nitro Motorcycle, two champions will have an opportunity to battle it out on the dragstrip as 2014 IHRA Nitro Motorcycle champion, Mike Scott has a motorcycle entered into the Mopar Rocky Mountain Nationals presented by Good Vibrations.
