Doug Kalitta Finds 80,000 More Reasons to Like NHRA Pomona Dragstrip
Mac Tools Dragster driver Doug Kalitta already had a terrific relationship with Southern California's In-N-Out Burger Dragstrip. The most significant of his seven NHRA victories here came in November 2023 against Leah Pruett in a winner-take-all final round to clinch the Top Fuel championship, his long-awaited first. Even before he took to the track for Friday's opening-day action at the Lucas Oil Winternationals, he said, 'Pomona has been a really good track for us over the years, and we'd like to make more memories there this weekend. We've done well there, but so has Alan [crew chief Johnson]. So that's a lot of track knowledge that is an added bonus for our team. Hopefully things will line up well for us, and we can have a shot at a win this weekend.' He was referring to the Winternationals. But he got his wish early. Kalitta is $80,000 richer for his Friday victory over final-round opponent Brittany Force in the Right Trailers Top Fuel All-Star Callout. He defeated Clay Millican and Antron Brown to advance to the final. The event was washed out at the season-opening Gatornationals at Gainesville, Fla., and Kalitta said, "There's no better place to bring it than here. It was a fun day for sure." Friday's results after the first two of four rounds of qualifying for the 65th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip, third of 20 events in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Qualifying will continue Saturday for Sunday's final eliminations. Top Fuel -- 1. Brittany Force, 3.646 seconds, 334.82 mph; 2. Doug Kalitta, 3.657, 335.15; 3. Josh Hart, 3.675, 332.34; 4.

NHRA Arizona Nationals Friday Qualifying: Kalitta Quickest in Top Fuel
Top Fuel's Doug Kalitta powered to the provisional No. 1 position on Friday at Firebird Motorsports Park, making the only run in the 3.60s at the 40th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals. Bob Tasca III (Funny Car) and Matt Hartford (Pro Stock) are also the provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the second of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. Kalitta went 3.688-seconds at 330.09-mph in his 11,000-horsepower SealMaster/Toyota dragster under the lights in Phoenix, putting the 2023 world champion in line for his first No. 1 qualifier of the year and the 59th in his career. The No. 1 spot changed twice before Kalitta ran, but nobody else could move into the 3.60s on Friday, as Kalitta put on a standout show in Phoenix. Kalitta and his team ran with mud flaps on during the first session, but removed them for the second, as NHRA officials announced earlier this week mud flaps will be optional for the next four races. 'I was pretty happy with that run and I have to say they've really done a nice job at this facility. The track is nice and smooth,' Kalitta said. 'We're happy that things kind of cooled off and we were able to get a good run in. The conditions were that good, so it says a lot for the track and this team.' Brittany Force took the second spot with a run of 3.705 at 331.69 and Kalitta Motorsports' teammate Shawn Langdon is currently third after going 3.706 at 331.85. In Funny Car, Bob Tasca ended Friday qualifying in the category in impressive fashion, going 3.863 at 333.82 in his 11,000-horsepower Motorcraft Ford Mustang to slip past reigning world champion Austin Prock for the provisional No. 1 spot. Prock and Tasca were the only two Funny Car drivers to dip into the 3.80s during the first two sessions, with Prock going 3.883 at 327.44 the pair before Tasca. But Tasca topped him to take the upper hand into Saturday, where he will attempt to pick up his 19th career No. 1 qualifier and first of the year. 'What I love about what we did today is that we ran good on a hot track, and we did it on a cool track,' Tasca said. 'This is very unique. You don't see what we saw today, a 122-degree track and then an 80-degree track. That's a 40-degree change in racing surface so that's a completely different race car, and the teams that adapted and made the changes performed the best today, and it'll be exciting for tomorrow and see what we can do. 'You're going to see a hot track for the rest of the weekend, so I'm pretty confident. That first run was more important than the second run and Todd [Okuhara] and Aaron [Brooks] really worked hard over the winter, making some changes to this race car, trying to get more consistency.' Prock is second after two sessions, while Ron Capps is in third after going 3.912 at 323.50. Friday night was great for Phoenix-area native Matt Hartford, as he took over the No. 1 spot in his Total Seal Chevrolet Camaro with a stellar run of 6.509 at 208.20. If that holds, Hartford would pick up his fifth career No. 1 qualifier and first of the year, and continue his strong turnaround after struggling for the bulk of the 2024 campaign. This is another noteworthy step forward as Hartford looks to win at his home track. 'This is our home track,' Hartford said. 'It's Total Seal country, and to be able to do that in front of friends and family and all the people from Total Seal is just incredible. We're going to have a lot of people here tomorrow, about 175 of our closest friends, and they're all going to want to know how we did last night, so it's going to be nice to say that we're No. 1 going into tomorrow.' Defending world champ and Gainesville winner Greg Anderson is second with a 6.512 at 208.91 at 208.91 and Cory Reed is third after a run of 6.516 at 208.91. Qualifying continues at 11:30 a.m. PT on Saturday at the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird Motorsports Park.
