LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Officials from the American Drag Racing League unveiled their 2013 tour schedule today during a press conference at the Performance Racing Industry show in Orlando, Fla. The most notable change is a switch to events being held on Saturdays and Sundays versus the ADRL's traditional Friday - Saturday format. "After careful consideration and discussions with our racers and track partners, everyone agreed that holding our events on Saturday and Sunday was our best option going forward," said ADRL President Kenny Nowling.
