https://www.facebook.com/NHRA/videos/353096471906335/ https://www.nhra.com/sites/default/f...?itok=jlotWqUW Results| Notebook | Event news Steve Torrence won his first career Top Fuel world championship during eliminations on Sunday at the NHRA Toyota Nationals and raced to his 10th victory of the year at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Torrence continued his impressive pace in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Countdown to the Championship where he has yet to lose a round of racing since the playoffs began. He went on to get his fifth consecutive victory of the year when he bested Leah Pritchett with a run of 3.751-seconds at 326.32 mph in his dragster. “This is a lifelong goal right here,” said Torrence. “All the glory goes to God, my mom and dad, because without them none of this would be even be possible. Every one of those Capco boys on that race team because they put their heart in it and it is hard to beat people with heart. All the boys back home at Capco, we got it done guys. This is unreal. To all those people who said we couldn’t do it, we are here.” J.R. Todd (Funny Car), Bo Butner (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana Jr. (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also winners in their respective categories at the fifth of six playoff events during the 2018 Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship. In Funny Car, Todd powered to his fifth win of the year in his Toyota Camry when he defeated Matt Hagan in the finals with his winning run of 3.921 at 318.39. Butner raced to his second Pro Stock win of the year when he defeated Erica Enders with a run of 6.657 at 207.43 in his Chevrolet Camaro. In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Arana Jr. was the top qualifier for the event and won his third race of the year when he defeated Eddie Krawiec in the finals with a winning run of 6.885 at 193.35. The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series concludes on Nov. 8-11 at the Auto Club NHRA Finals at the Auto Club Raceway of Pomona. |
Pomona will be the deciding factory from Funny car to Pro bike!
Erica Enders was in the final with Bo Butner with Bo taking home the win! Erica has moved
up to third in points with only 149 points behind 1st place Tanner Gray and 9 points behind second place teamate, Jeg Coughlin. Funny car will come down to JR Todd & Robert Hight at 74 points back. Pro Stock Motorcycle is soo close with Matt Smith leading Eddie Krawiec at 4 points back. 4 major players will NOT be back next year... Tanner Gray, Bo Butner, John Gaydosh & Drew Skillman...all in Prostock. 2019 will also be the year that POSSIBLY they may run 16 races instead of 24 and lower the field limit to 8 cars, unless they have more races at 16 car fields in consistent basis. 2019 & 2020 will decide what happens there...stay tuned!

Mike Janis wins Pro Mod Championship
https://autoweek.com/sites/default/f...?itok=53HLFnWd
NHRA Pro Modified owner-driver Mike Janis was afraid he was experiencing deja-vu. The longtime racer from Lancaster, N.Y., had feared he would leave The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway disappointed, like he did in 2015, when he let the championship slip from his grasp and finished second in the standings. He said he and his Mike Janis Superchargers / AAP team was “not going to let anybody get in our heads” this weekend as E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series competition loomed at the NHRA Toyota Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Evidently he forgot to include himself. Janis said he ran a continuous audio loop in his head ever since he arrived at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “It’s going to happen again. It’s going to happen again.” And Sunday morning, he thought it had. Janis encountered an electrical failure in his supercharged ’69 Chevy Camaro and lost his first-round match-up against Marc Caruso. He said he figured his prediction was coming true “when I saw Caruso run me down and my car just laid over.” Then he had to wait until the quarterfinals to see whether veteran Rickie Smith – who needed only 24 points to overtake him – would pull off a third NHRA Pro Mod title. Janis was shocked and emotional as he saw Rick Hord power past Smith at the last minute on the quarter-mile. That awarded the championship to Janis. It was his first under NHRA sanction but his third overall, after earning two IHRA Pro Modified crowns. “It still hasn’t set in,” he said, clutching his trophy. “After losing first round, we were all down, thinking the percentage of taking the championship was going to nothing, with Rickie still in the show. Rickie had Rick Hord beat there for a little while. Right at the end, Hord went by him, and I said, ‘No, it can’t be true.’ “Well, it is,” Janis said. “I just can’t express the happiness. It’s an incredible feeling. I just can’t explain it. “We had a good car all year. We had a good car when we got here – nice, consistent runs,” Janis, whose tuner is son Mike Janis Jr., said |

Revised 2019 Schedule...
The NHRA made a slight alteration to the 2019 schedule.

The final three events of the season will now take place in this order: Oct. 17-20 – AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals Oct. 31-Nov. 3 – NHRA Nevada Nationals Nov. 14-17 – Auto Club NHRA Finals The changes move the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals to after the NHRA Carolina Nationals in order to streamline travel across the country during the Countdown to the Championship -- NHRA’s playoff format. The playoffs will still begin in Reading, Pennsylvania, and then travels to St. Louis. The final four events will then progress east to west, stopping in Charlotte, N.C., Dallas, Texas, Las Vegas and Pomona, California. 2019 NHRA MELLO YELLO DRAG RACING SERIES SCHEDULE NHRA Mello Yello Series Regular Season Feb. 7-10 - Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals, Pomona, Calif.

Tanner Gray wins Pro stock championship
Pro Stock racer Tanner Gray became the youngest NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series world champion by qualifying Saturday at the season ending Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
During his championship season Gray notched seven victories including securing his first career win at the prestigious Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals win in Indianapolis. In the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Countdown to the Championship, Gray cemented his first crown with two wins and maintained the points lead throughout the entire playoffs. “It has been a heck of a year,” Gray stated. “It started out pretty slow and I wasn’t quite sure it would end up here. About midseason we were able to find something, and everything seemed like it started clicking from there. We did so much testing at the beginning of the season and it really paid off. It was like a light flipped and everything started coming together. We had a strong running going there for a little bit and came into the Countdown and executed on race day really well.” |
