8-11 p.m. Monday, Oct. 14, 2024 on FS1

Qualifying: J.R. Todd was the No. 10 qualifier at the Texas NHRA FallNationals. Todd’s best of the four qualifying attempts came during the Friday night session when the DHL GR Supra reached the finish line in 3.913 seconds at 326.44 mph.

Eliminations: Todd raced Cruz Pedregon in the first round. The cars left the starting line together. Todd was leading early in the race, but the DHL GR Supra smoked the tires, and Pedregon raced to the win light.

Unofficial Point Standings: Todd leaves Dallas in eighth place in the NHRA Mission Foods Funny Car point standings. He trails seventh-pace Blake Alexander by 11 points and leads ninth-place Chad Green by 13 points with two races remaining in the season.

Todd on Dallas: “The DHL GR Supra team made some solid runs in qualifying, but our performance isn’t up there with the front runners. We didn’t get it done on race day – that’s really unfortunate for DHL, SealMaster, Revchem, Toyota and everyone that supports us. We have two more chances to win – we’ll give it another shot in Las Vegas.”

Next Race: Team Kalitta will be back in action Nov. 1-3, 2024 at the NHRA Ford Performance Nationals in Las Vegas, the fifth of six races making up the Countdown to the Championship NHRA Playoffs.
