Finals Broadcast Replay: 11 p.m.-1 a.m. Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 on FS1
Qualifying: Doug Kalitta was the No. 3 qualifier at the Pep Boys NHRA Nationals. His quickest qualifying pass came in the Friday evening-session when he needed just 3.736 seconds to reach the finish line at 335.73 mph. It was his 10th top-four qualifying position in the season’s first 14 races.
Eliminations: Kalitta raced Dan Mercier in the first round of eliminations. Kalitta’s Mac Tools dragster smoked the tires immediately, and Mercier cruised to the win.
Unofficial Point Standings: Kalitta leaves Reading in fourth place in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series point standings. He trails the third-place driver, his teammate Shawn Langdon, by 27 points and leads fifth-place Steve Torrence by 25 points with five races remaining in the season.
Kalitta on Reading: “We qualified real well, and the Mac Tools car was running well. For whatever reason, the thing smoked the tires at the hit; it was one of those deals, and unfortunately, we let one get away. Hopefully we can just shake it off and be ready for Charlotte; we have a lot of racing left.”
Next Race: Team Kalitta will be back in action Sept. 20-22, 2024 at the Betway NHRA Carolina Nationals in Concord, N.C., the second of six races making up the Countdown to the Championship NHRA Playoffs.
