The NHRA made a slight alteration to the 2019 schedule.

Specifically, the final three races of the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series have been swapped around. The final three events of the season will now take place in this order:

Oct. 17-20 – AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals
Oct. 31-Nov. 3 – NHRA Nevada Nationals
Nov. 14-17 – Auto Club NHRA Finals

The changes move the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals to after the NHRA Carolina Nationals in order to streamline travel across the country during the Countdown to the Championship -- NHRA’s playoff format.

The playoffs will still begin in Reading, Pennsylvania, and then travels to St. Louis. The final four events will then progress east to west, stopping in Charlotte, N.C., Dallas, Texas, Las Vegas and Pomona, California.
