29 June 2018 Marysville, WA - The NHRDA made their first ever stop in the Bluegrass State for the Thoroughbred Diesel Throwdown at Mountain Park Dragway in Clay City, Kentucky. Mother Nature reared her ugly head on Friday night but Saturday she greeted the fans and competitors with great weather.

The Friday night GDP Tuning Sled Pulls were rained out after a huge down pour happened just around the 6:30 pm mark and completely soaked the track. The sled pull track crew worked the dirt Saturday morning and afternoon but with the amount of water that came down the track couldn't be fixed for the rescheduled Sunday morning.

Saturday morning saw perfect weather hit the track for the Hot Shot's Secret Diesel Drag Racing Series, the AirDog Dyno Competition, the PSG Tuning Show N Shine Competition and the Pacbrake Burnout Contest.

The Top Diesel class saw 2 former NHRDA World Champions (Jared Jones and Wade Moody) battle it out for the trophy at the Thoroughbred Diesel Throwdown. It would be Moody taking home the win in his Flo-Pro Top Diesel Dragster.
