POMONA, Calif. – Racing at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals was canceled on Saturday due to weather at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
Eliminations for Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle will be set based on championship points standings coming into the event.
The first round of eliminations is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday. Gates will open at 7:30 a.m.
As a result, Top Fuel’s Doug Kalitta clinched the world championship on Saturday, his second in three years. Funny Car points leader Austin Prock will take the No. 1 spot into Sunday, needing just to defeat rookie Hunter Green in the opening round of eliminations to win the championship for the second straight year. Matt Hagan will need a first-round Prock loss, plus an event win to claim the title.
In Pro Stock, points leader Dallas Glenn also needs to win his opening-round matchup against David Cuadra to hold off reigning world champ Greg Anderson and clinch his first career world title. Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Richard Gadson and Gaige Herrera are seeded in the top two spots, respectively, meaning whatever rider has the better day on Sunday will win the world title, setting up the potential for a winner-take-all final round.
NHRA will announce further schedule changes, if needed. Updates will also be posted on NHRA.com and NHRA’s social media channels.
