I see that Nascar journalists Bob Pockrass and Kelly Crandall out taking in the race. Both posting updates on their Twitter accounts.

If I recall, Team Kalitta took Kelly Crandall to the Bristol race a few years ago on a NASCAR off-day and she has been writing occasionally about NHRA for Racer.com ever since.

She has two NHRA pieces on Saturday's Racer.com bulletin, along with a NASCAR item.

Pro Stock's Glenn distanced himself from racing before NHRA Finals in Pomona

Dallas Glenn competes for his first NHRA Pro Stock championship Sunday in Pomona, but he hasn’t spent time thinking about it. Glenn, in fact, has tried to do anything but think about racing. “I’ve …

'Team owner blues' finally kicking in for Capps

Ron Capps knew it was coming. It didn’t happen the first year, 2022, when Capps won his second consecutive – third overall – NHRA Funny Car championships. It didn’t happen in 2023 when he and the N…

Talk about a big moment!! 2 great drivers.

So if whoever wins this match gets knocked out in Rd 2, would anyone else still be in contention for the T/F championship if they win the event?

There is a good chance that in second round, that they would face Langdon (if he wins first round) who is only 1 pt. behind Antron.

Since I'm not necessarily an Antron fan or an Ashley fan, I'd sure like to see Langdon come from behind and win one more for the Bounty Hunter team.

I heard yesterday at the track that Mark Oswald is retiring after today, so I wonder how that will affect Antron's team next year.

Congrats to Shawn Cowie for finally winning the TAD championship.

It was great to see a blower car win the championship. Congratulations to the Cowie team!

Great to see Lindsi going rounds.

Great to see Lindsi going rounds.

Yes, and she has had two very good .020 lights. Tough to get any momentum going though when you only race once on Fri and once on Sat. We'll see how she does today.

Another BIG first round matchup is Billy Torrence vs Tony Stewart. The winner stays in the top ten, loser is 11th. Also Schumacher vs Millican which could greatly affect the 4th-8th final order.

Yesterday at Pomona, Alan was on the mic for Sportsman, then he went to the top end for interviews during the fuel cars. I never could catch the name of the guy who did the announcing for the fuel cars, but he was nowhere near as good as Alan. NHRA really needs to get Alan back as the #1 announcer for at least the Pro classes and maybe Top Alcohol as well. I wonder if Alan will be the main announcer for today's action?

That's cool. I met Indy Car journalist Robin Miller at the Winternationals about 10 years ago. Super nice guy. He had some really nice things to say about drag racing as a whole.

Doug 300 mph to the 1/8! Britt and Steve O ran 3.64, how low can the FC’s go?

Well.....3.804, Prock. Not bad.

It was great to see a blower car win the championship. Congratulations to the Cowie team!

Indeed. And even after all these years and total acceptance of the injected nitro cars in TAD, it just seems right that an alcohol fueled dragster winds up on top of the Top Alcohol Dragster category.

Anyone know how long everyone is going to stand around staring at the crashed plane before we go back to racing? Let's go!

Top Fuel Championship is wide open! Antron takes out Ashley in rd 1. Antron, Langdon, Brittany, and Doug all advance. Antron vs Langdon in rd 2.

 

[J. S.]

In-N-Out Lynsi goes to the semi's in Top Sportsman. I think that may be the best she has done at the drags so far.

I think someone needs to consintrate on driving, and less on making YouTube videos.

How awkward was the Stewart/Pritchett race?

Hate to see Mark Oswald retiring. Always rooted for him when he was a driver.

 

[TSK]

You couldn't have asked for a better TF final round between Antron and Doug.
But, I have long been a fan of Antron and was really glad to see him win the race and the championship.

Awkward enough for Tony to make the comment right after winning the race with Pritchett "If I had known my new baby boy would have been such a good luck charm I would have knocked Leah up on the first date".

I bet that one gets talked about for awhile.

Shout-out to Greg Anderson for Championship #6. He can still compete with the kids! His last two races he lost by .002 and .005, then he wins the run for the championship by .002. I think that was the only time this year he led the points. Got to know him since he was crew chief and part time racer for George Marnell. Very happy for him.
