Both events remain in the NHRA Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship, NHRA’s six-race playoffs to determine world champions in the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle categories.   NHRA worked with officials at both tracks to accommodate the request for the date swap, which better suited their individual 2012 season schedules.
