Finals Broadcast Replay (eastern time): 7-10 p.m. Monday, June 23 on FS2
Qualifying: J.R. Todd was the No. 3 qualifier at the American Rebel Light Virginia NHRA Nationals. Todd and his DHL GR Supra team made three strong qualifying passes all within five hundredths of a second. His best qualifying attempt came in the first of three Saturday sessions when he made a 4.018-second pass at 320.05 mph. It was Todd’s best qualifying result of the season.
Eliminations: Todd defeated Buddy Hull and Hunter Green before losing to Austin Prock when the DHL GR Supra smoked the tires early in the run.
When Todd advanced to the semifinals, he earned a spot in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge next week in Norwalk, Ohio. During Saturday’s qualifying sessions, the drivers who reached the semifinals in Richmond will re-run the semifinals and final earning additional purse and championship bonus points.
Unofficial Point Standings: Todd leaves Richmond in sixth place in the NHRA Funny Car point standings. He trails fifth-place Matt Hagan by 23 points and leads seventh-place Daniel Wilkerson by 24 points.
Todd on Richmond: “We had some really tricky conditions today, and I’m really proud of Dickie (Crew Chief Dickie Venables) and the DHL guys for the way they battled this weekend. We had a good qualifying effort and pretty much went down the track every run except the semifinals. You hate to lose like that against those guys; you never want to give ‘em away, but we had a good points day. Now we have to carry this momentum into Norwalk next weekend.”
