J.R. Todd, DHL Funny Car
Finals Broadcast Replay (eastern time): 8-11 p.m. Monday, June 1 on FS2
Qualifying: J.R. Todd was the No. 8 qualifier at the NHRA Potomac Nationals. Todd made his quickest pass in the final qualifying session Saturday afternoon when he made a 4.001-second run at 325.77 mph.
Eliminations: Todd defeated Blake Alexander in the first round setting up a second-round matchup with No. 1 qualifier Jack Beckman. The cars left together, and Todd was leading the race near half-track when the DHL GR Supra dropped a cylinder allowing Beckman to take the win light by 18 thousandths of a second.
Unofficial Point Standings: Todd leaves Maryland in second place in in the NHRA Funny Car point standings. He trails first place Ron Capps by 16 points and leads third-place Chad Green by 24 points.
Todd on Maryland: “Wish we could have gone a few more rounds today, but the DHL team made some good runs this weekend. It’s kind of an unknown when you go to a new place, and this place definitely has some character. Thanks to all the fans for coming out to support us. Would have loved to get the win here. That was a close race in the second round – we just came out on the wrong side of it. Thanks to everybody at DHL, SealMaster, Mobil 1 and Mac Tools. We’re looking forward to getting up to Epping (N.H.) and seeing if we can have similar success to what we did there last year – that would get us some momentum heading into the summer races.”
