KENNY BERNSTEIN LOOKING FOR 10TH CAREER FINAL ROUND SHOWINGAT AUTO CLUB FINALS

POMONA , Calif. – Whether driving a Funny Car or a Top Fuel dragster, Kenny Bernstein has a history of ending the NHRA season with a flare.

He has nine final round appearances at Auto Club Raceway through the years. In Funny Car in four final rounds, Bernstein took home two Funny Car trophies, as well as championships in 1985 and 1986. In Top Fuel, he has five final round showings with four victories, including 2003 when he substituted for his injured son, Brandon, who suffered back injuries earlier in the season.

The six-time NHRA world champion hopes to continue his tradition of making final round appearances at the Automobile Club of Southern California Finals Nov. 1-4 driving his Monster Energy/Lucas Oil Funny Car.

“When you win the final race of the season, you have a couple of months to enjoy the victory,” reflected Bernstein. “Plus it gives you a little mojo and momentum going into the next season.

“The truth is Jimmy (Walsh, crew chief) and the team have already begun some of the preparation for next season and we’ve been working on tuning combinations as well. We had a slow start this season, but we hope to start next year off with some strong showings right out of the gate.

“Knowing how tough the competition was in the Funny Car category this year, crew chiefs will be burning the midnight oil to find whatever fraction of an advantage they can for next year.

“We know that the percentage of nitro allowed in the fuel mixture will increase next year so that will mean tuning changes.

“But in the present tense, we’d like to end the season with a victory celebration for Monster Energy, Lucas Oil, Mac Tools, AlphaTrade and all of the other sponsors who have supported our return to competition this year.”

Nitro (Top Fuel and Funny Car) qualifying begins Thursday, Nov. 1 at 2:30 p.m. with a second session Friday at 2:30 p.m. There are two qualifying rounds Saturday noon and 3:30 p.m. , with final eliminations Sunday at 11 a.m.
