Finals Broadcast Replay: 8-11 p.m. Tuesday, March 26 on FS1

Qualifying: Doug Kalitta was the No. 7 qualifier at the Lucas Oil Winternationals. His best effort came during the rain-delayed Saturday qualifying session when he ran a 3.785-second pass at 303.30 mph.

Eliminations: Kalitta defeated Jasmine Salinas before losing to Billy Torrence when the Mac Tools dragster smoked the tires almost immediately at the start of the second-round run.

Unofficial Point Standings: Kalitta leaves Pomona tied with Brittany Force for sixth place in the NHRA Top Fuel point standings. They trail fifth-place Antron Brown by two points and lead eighth-place Josh Hart by 24 points.

Kalitta on Pomona: “It was unfortunate to go out in the second round, but fortunately, our Mac Tools team got past the first round in both of the races so far this season. It was kinda tricky this weekend with only two qualifying runs, and the first qualifying run probably shouldn’t even count because the track was so bad. It was tricky for everybody; we’ll have to save it for Phoenix. Really appreciate everyone at Revchem, SealMaster and Toyota for everything they do for us.”

Next Race: Team Kalitta will be back in action April 5-7, 2024 at the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Chandler, Ariz.  For additional information, please visit www.nhra.com.  For additional information on Kalitta Motorsports, please visitwww.teamkalitta.com.
