#Gatornationals drivers
Twelve of the 16 drivers quailed in the three-second zone with Alexis DeJoria (3.954), Paul Lee (3.960), Blake Alexander (3.969), and Tim Wilkerson (3.980) all running quicker than four seconds. Todd slotted sixth with the first of the 3.9-second runs at 3.900 in the DHL Surpa, followed by Chad Green (3.922) and NHRA Finals winnerĬruz Pedregon (3.933) to round out the top eight. and it wasn’t by much - we’re not gonna brag about it and it’s a big day tomorrow - but, my gosh, what a way to start the year.” So it’s almost like how do you top that? But we show up here and we come from behind and we lay down low e.t. Last year I end up winning Indy for the first time in my career then we win the Callout in the same weekend and then we go on to win the championship and it’s just a dream year. “I’m almost embarrassed by how good my life is right now. Capps also started his 2022 championship season with a first-race No. 1 spot with a 3.874 in a frantic final qualifying session where John Force (3.878), Robert Hight (3.879), Friday leader Bob Tasca III (3.885), and defending event champ Matt Hagan (3.890) all also ran in the 3.8-second zone. 1 qualifier in Funny CarĬapps waited until the final session to take the No. Keith Murt sits in the field’s final spot with a 3.988 and draws Force in round one. 3 with 3.723 with Leah Pruett (3.724), Clay Millican (3.728), Antron Brown (3.734), Callout champion Josh Hart (3.748), and callout runner-up Mike Salinas (3.751) rounding out the quick eight. Doug Kalitta, also a semifinal loser in the Callout, sits No. Steve Torrence, whose four-year reign as world champion was ended last season by Force, stepped up to a 3.723 to take the No. 1 on our car., and that’s what this team has been chasing since we started in 2019 as a team, and we finally got it done.” Last season, it was such a strong season for us and now we’re pulling out this season with a No. We missed it the one time in the Callout, but we all feel pretty good. “It’s outstanding, to be in different conditions run in and still be able to run that.
We’ll put today behind us, and got in that last qualifying session which was good, solid run for us. We felt good going into and got to the semifinals, but we got beat, so our bigger focus now is raceday tomorrow. “It was a bummer to lose out on the All-Star Callout, but we got the No. So same game plan coming into this season, and we’ll have to deliver tomorrow.”
The game plan coming into the last few seasons is we wanted to do both, and we definitely turned things around last season where we ended up with the championship. We’d grab points, but then we would struggle so bad on race day. We struggled with that in the past we’d have all these No. 1 qualifiers are always great as long as we deliver on Sunday. “It’s pretty cool to be able to accomplish that with your team,” notes Force on her 43rd No. 1 of her young career, which spans just 213 events.Īlthough Force lost in the semifinals of the Pep Boys All-Star Top Fuel callout when she uncharacteristically smoked the tires, the run didn’t count for qualifying anyway and she closed qualifying with the two quickest runs of the two days and maximum qualifying bonus points. 1 spot in Top Fuel with her Friday 3.699, but her David Grubnic-tuned Monster Energy team put an emphatic punctuation mark on their first pole of the season by having the quickest car of both of Saturday’s sessions with respective runs of 3.744 and 3.718. 1 qualifier, her 43rd in NHRA, and facing Keith Murt No. Team Chevy led the way in Top Fuel, with Brittany Force setting the stage as the No. Qualifying for the 2023 season-opening AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals has been completed, setting the ladders for Sunday’s eliminations at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida.
