NHRA announces 2021 schedule

This morning the NHRA announced the schedule for the 2021 season, which will be the 70th anniversary of the NHRA itself. And for this special season, there's been some shakeups.

Currently it sits at 22 races, but I'm told there is a potential for a 23rd. Route 66 Raceway in Chicago will not be hosting any events in 2021 so they are not on the schedule and of course the Countdown to the Championship is back.
