The O'Reilly NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals are just about a month away and fans have plenty of options when it comes to where they choose to catch the heart-pounding action at Bristol Dragway.

The May 18-20 event, one of the National Hot Rod Association's most popular and successful events, promises to be one of the most exciting in Thunder Valley history as Top Fuel standout Doug Kalitta goes for a fourth win in what will be his seventh NHRA start in Thunder Valley. Kalitta topped Rod Fuller with a run of 331.53 mph with a 4.537 elapsed time a year ago.

Ron Capps scored his first-ever Funny Car title in Thunder Valley a year ago, besting the legendary John Force on a holeshot with a 4.793 at 319.52 mph run in the finals. Another first time Bristol winner was 2006 Pro Stock champion Jason Line who captured the win over teammate Greg Anderson with a run of 5.715 at 205.35 mph.

The only other multiple winners at Bristol are Pro Stockers and multi-time champions Anderson and Warren Johnson, both of whom have a pair of wins in Thunder Valley.
