QUOTABLES:
Doug Kalitta, driver of the Mac Tools Top Fuel Dragster:
“We had a great car in pre-season testing and that has carried over here in Pomona. The Mac Tools team and I are really excited to get the 2013 season going and start everything off with a great qualifying effort. Hopefully we’ll turn on a few win lights tomorrow.”
David Grubnic, driver of the Optima Batteries Top Fuel Dragster:
“Well obviously I am thrilled to bits with the performance on the 3.77 run. It actually stripped the teeth off the belt, and the half-track numbers suggested we were on a 3.75. We are thrilled with that! I am thrilled with the whole team, and I want to thank Optima Batteries, Candlewood Suites and all of our supporters. I am really looking forward to race day and winning a few rounds tomorrow.”
Del Worsham, driver of the DHL Toyota Camry Funny Car:
“To finish up qualifying I feel good. It’s been a couple years so to make four good consistent runs in the DHL Toyota Camry, I couldn’t be happier. The team has done a great job, and we are looking forward to Sunday.”
Alexis DeJoria, driver of the Tequila Patron Toyota Camry Funny Car:
“I’m stoked about that one run. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it down the track other than that one time, but we’re going to figure it out.”
