Eliminations: Kalitta raced Clay Millican in the first round; both cars left at the same time, but Kalitta’s Mobil 1 50th anniversary dragster smoked the tires giving the round win to Millican.
Unofficial Point Standings: Kalitta leaves Dallas in seventh place in the NHRA Mission Foods Top Fuel point standings. He trails sixth-place Clay Millican by nine points, leads eighth-place Brittany Force by 67 points and trails points leader Justin Ashley by 133 points with two races remaining in the season.
Kalitta on Dallas: “I thought the Mobil 1 team had something for them this weekend – I was really excited for today. This thing sure looked good on Saturday; for whatever reason, it wasn’t meant to be today. We definitely hate it for Mobil 1, Mac Tools, Revchem and everyone else that helps us get it done. I know my guys – we’re all hungry. I just have a ton of confidence in this program, and we’re still trying to make it happen. We have two more races – you never can tell what kind of streak we can go on.”
