This year didn't feature any pro-stock car classes, but the addition of Factory X gave the crowd a chance to enjoy some gear-shifting action down the 1320. Virginia got to witness impressive two-wheel performances, with rising star Brayden Davis securing his first win in the Mission Foods Challenge and earning another number one qualifier. This year also saw longtime motorcycle racer Dystany Spurlock make her much-anticipated NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle debut, with support from seasoned racers Hector Arana Jr. and Sr.
