Toyota Racing – Denny Hamlin
NASCAR Cup Series Quotes

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (October 28, 2023) – Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin was made available to media before practice for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday:

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry TRD, Joe Gibbs Racing

If NASCAR hadn’t bailed the Hail Melon, would you consider doing it this weekend?

“You would almost have to do it, because others would. It kind of depends on your situation too. If you need a couple of points – which is what I think you are asking – yeah. It wouldn’t just be pretty, because everyone knows the big advantage that you get. You would just have 36 trashed cars at the end of the race. Maybe it would be exciting if everyone did it one time. But it needs to live in history and one year for sure.”

Is it worse to get eliminated by a mechanical issue or the Hail Melon move last season?

“I don’t know. They all feel about the same, honestly. It’s unfortunate – the circumstances are unfortunate, but I certainly would rather be in (Ryan) Blaney’s position, but also, I know, I can be on full offense for the full race this time around. I don’t have to play D. I don’t have to be a little more careful. It’s just one mode right from the get-go. It’s part of the format, that unfortunately is out of the driver’s hands when it comes to this type of racing. There is a lot of different factors that go into it, whether it is a Hail Melon move or a mechanical, or whatever it might be, it equally stings for sure.”

What are the some of the things NASCAR could do with the short track package?

“We probably need to be partners in everything, so when it comes to rule changes and things like that – I think it is a 50/50 things. It’s what I would like to see, we really didn’t fully design this car ourselves and if we have to go back and fix things, it certainly falls on us. I think the easiest lever, and I don’t know for sure why we haven’t done it – I think Doug Yates mentioned it – is we can go to 750 horsepower tomorrow. The parts and pieces won’t change if we just open up the tapered spacer to 750 like we had, year before last. I think that is the quickest thing and then work on the gearing – the gearing is not going to be an easy fix. I specifically harp on it quite a bit, but it’s not going to be an easy fix. NASCAR kind of presented us some options so we would not have shifting here at Martinsville, but there are too many other factors. There is always a cause and an effect. If you don’t shift our RPM’s would be so low in the middle of the corner. We would never wear out a tire. The horsepower and torque would be so low that by the time you got to the end of the straightaway and wound out the RPMs – that’s not an easy fix either. It’s not going to fix it by just dropping the gear. It would take time to figure it out, and certainly there is a lot of smart minds that are trying to figure it out. In my opinion, it’s not an aero situation. We are going to run quite a different tire this weekend that will undoubtably make it really hard to pass because of the speed it runs with the lack of fall off. I don’t know. It’s tough because we have cut 300 horsepower out and added grip. Anything that we do that, there is more on-throttle time. The key is to better short track racing is off-throttle time, and no one really has a great answer on how to do it.”

How great would it be to cross a win off the list here with Chris Gabehart?

“Short of the very first time we came here in the Next Gen car, Chris (Gabehart) has given me some really, really fast cars here at this track. Didn’t win for different circumstances that is so-called racing. That’s just part of racing. You can’t always dictate the outcome, but he’s done a great job of giving me cars and I would be more than happy to let him take that clock home and let him put it in his living room, bedroom – wherever he cares to put it. Absolutely.”

Is it kind of best case scenario for you to need to win at Martinsville with all your previous success?

“The ball is in our court. We can decide our own fate if we just win the race. I wish it was that easy. I wish it was just based off of speed, and things like that, but there are a lot of other factors, but certainly I can’t think of a better race track that fits me and my style and my team.”

How do you separate Denny the team owner and Denny the driver this weekend?

“The way I see it is I’ve got two shots to get into the final four. I certainly would rather do it on the driver’s side, because there are going to be far less opportunities to do that, than what it would be on the owner’s side, but also really happy that, that team has worked itself into a position that if it performs well, it could get in as well. But this weekend, they are unfortunately competitors, and I will treat them as that.”

How impressed are you with 23XI and what they’ve put together?

“I’m very impressed and that whole competition group over there, and what Billy (Scott) and Bootie (Barker) do week-in and week-out with Dave Rogers and Wheels (Mike Wheeler) – they do a fantastic job. With a few of the meetings – I don’t get a whole lot of invites too – but have set in on a couple of times, I was very, very impressed with what they do and their preparation and how they prepare for each and every weekend. I’m really happy to see how that team is progressing, and certainly think they are on the right timeline that I set out for them.”

How do you reward a guy that has had a great season, but also have the excitement of always having a championship available at the last race of the season?

“It’s a tough balance for sure. Don’t get it twisted – that’s our goal, every year, is to make the final four. We want to win a championship, but you have to win a race to do that. You’ve got to have a good series of events happen through the first 26, and really these three race seasons, we have leading up to it. It is tough. I certainly know a championship will not change how I view my career and what I’ve accomplished. It will only change, and probably not, change what others view of me. That’s the only difference that trophy would bring. I actually saw this week where someone asked Kyle Larson on how does a championship change you? He’s like nothing at all. Changes nothing. Mark Martin – you haven’t won one – what does it change? Nothing. It is what it is. Even on the local short track level, I always said I didn’t care about the accomplishments, I just wanted to be a threat that the competition saw every week. If we were going to win, we are going to have to beat him, and when you hit the race track, people grabbed the stopwatches. That’s the respect amongst the competitors that I hoped to gain throughout my career, and I feel like we’ve gotten that. Sure, I would love to have the accolades – I really would – but certainly, I’m not going to get too down on it. Racing has afforded me a great life, and a great retirement plan with 23XI. I love this sport, and whatever the outcome is, it is. I’m certainly going to give it my all, and not regret any one thing and any result that has happened because I know I’ve given it my best effort for sure.”

How do you assess the opportunity this weekend?

“There is an opportunity here. We’ve had our backs against the wall when we needed to win or really needed to gain a lot of points to make it to the final four. Historically, we’ve done really well in these situations, with the exception of Ross’ (Chastain) move last year. We were behind, and dominated and were well on our way. 2019 winning at Phoenix to get in. We’ve done well. I love those opportunities for sure. I wouldn’t choose it – over being ahead – but certainly there is an opportunity to kind of show what you are made of.”

How do approach what you might have to do to get in this weekend with you and Tyler Reddick for the final spot?

“You think about all that stuff, but that is so many what-ifs, that I would be losing focus on what I can control. Those are split second decisions, when they happen – like Chase Elliott in 2017 – that was a split second, panic mode that this is my only shot to make it, I’ve got to do it now. Things change when you get in the moment for sure and you don’t always thinks 100 percent clearly, but if you come up with a plan beforehand, it helps your IQ in that moment, because you have thought through it. I understand it both ways. The 45 (Tyler Reddick) and the 11 – if we are racing each other – and he knocks me out of the way, it would be hard for me to say you shouldn’t have done that because he’s racing and the other way around. Certainly, I wouldn’t expect us to wreck each other, but we are competitors and competing for what would be dreams for both of us.”

In April’s Call 811 Before You Dig 250 Burton would qualify in the 31st position and fight thru the field the entire day to come away with a 14th place finish. Last season’s (2022) Dead On Tool’s 250 would see Burton qualify in the 11th position and avoid all the carnage to finish right where he started in the 11th spot. In six starts Burton has one Top-5 finish, and four Top-15 finishes at Martinsville Speedway.

HIGHT, SALINAS, ENDERS & HERRERA OPEN NHRA NEVADA NATIONALS WITH PROVISIONAL NO. 1 SPOTS

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 27, 2023) – Looking to stay in the Funny Car championship hunt, Robert Hight claimed the provisional No. 1 position at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, making the quickest run in both qualifying sessions on Friday at the 23rd annual NHRA Nevada Nationals.

Mike Salinas (Top Fuel), Erica Enders (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are also the provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the 20th of 21 races during the 2023 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season, and the fifth of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

Hight powered to a run of 3.851-seconds at 327.51 in his 11,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet Camaro SS to take the top spot. If it holds, the multi-time world champion would earn his sixth No. 1 qualifier this season and 83rd in his career. He entered the weekend 69 points out of first and called this weekend a must-win situation with only two races remaining in the Countdown to the Championship.

“After Dallas, we kind of knew what we were up against,” Hight said. “You dig yourself a big hole and you have to get out of it. The only way to do that is race aggressively, try to get as many points as you can get, and it’s a must-win here and Pomona. But the way those other cars are running that we’re fighting against, you’re going to have to be a win and a semifinal to even have a chance, and we might even have to win both of them – and that still might not be enough. That’s how close this is and the caliber of cars.

“Vegas is kind of like Denver, you have to make big moves to run quicker and faster. It’s kind of an equalizer racing here. I’m proud of the guys – we did exactly what we had to do today, but I predict that if we don’t step up tomorrow, we won’t be here tomorrow night. It’s going to take more.”

Bob Tasca III, who entered the weekend second in points, went 3.853 at 335.73 to go to second, while points leader Matt Hagan is right behind after a 3.871 at 322.58. Hagan has won the last two playoff races.

In Top Fuel, Mike Salinas rocketed to the top thanks to his run of 3.699 at 332.75 in his 11,000-horsepower Valley Services/Scrappers Racing dragster. He’s seeking his fourth No. 1 spot this season and the 15th in his career and is also after a strong finish to his season. Salinas, who started the weekend sixth in points and 131 points out of first, started the year with a victory in Gainesville and would love a second victory in 2023. He was also the only driver to make a run in the 3.60s on Friday.

Austin Prock went to second with his run of 3.701 at 329.99 and points leader Leah Pruett is right behind thanks to her run of 3.707 at 331.53. She entered the weekend four points ahead of Doug Kalitta.

Nobody has more wins at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway than defending Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders and her success continued on Friday, securing the No. 1 spot in her Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage/Melling Performance Chevrolet Camaro with a 6.595 at 207.66 during opening session. Her second qualifying run on Friday was disallowed due to a technical violation.

She’s looking for her 10th career win in Las Vegas and enjoyed a great start, making the only run in the 6.50s. It puts the points leader on track for her sixth No. 1 spot this season and 35th her career. Entering the weekend with an 85-point lead over Greg Anderson, Enders hopes to build on that this weekend at her most successful track.

“[Even with] how well we’ve done here in the past and the success that we’ve had here in Las Vegas, we sucked so bad earlier this year that we couldn’t even win here in the spring,” Enders said. “It’s been an uphill battle, but with the way the Countdown is structured, we finally got ourselves out of the ditch that we were in – and just in the nick of time. We never doubted it, we just had to identify our problem and work through it. That’s something my guys are great at; when their backs are against the wall, they perform flawlessly and they never give up. They’re very tenacious, so I’m proud of them. Having the provisional No. 1 here is very meaningful.

“We tested and I’ve said this before, you win races before you leave the shop. You’re as prepared as possible, and we want to come out here and get every single point we can. Having said that, I know all the other competitors feel the same way, but good start, I’ll take it. The six points are very meaningful.”

Kyle Koretsky’s 6.603 at 206.07 put him in the second spot and Matt Hartford took third after his run of 6.608 at 206.26.

On a weekend where he has a chance to clinch his first NHRA world championship, Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Gaige Herrera got off to a flying start on his Mission Foods/Vance & Hines Suzuki, shattering the track record with a run of 6.760 at 199.82. The points leader entered the weekend with a 156-point lead over teammate Eddie Krawiec and he opened the event by making the quickest run in each of the first two sessions. It puts Herrera on track for his 13th No. 1 qualifier – a race after he set the class record for No. 1 qualifiers in a single season – and plenty of momentum heading into the rest of the weekend.

“For the whole Vance & Hines Mission Suzuki team, we were very happy with that,” said Herrera. “With the cooler conditions in Q2, we were expecting a 6.77, but that pass was so smooth and straight as an arrow that it felt slow. I knew it was on a good pass, but I didn’t expect it to go 6.76 and get the new track record. That’s a big deal to me and the whole team.

“I’m going into this race knowing in the back of my head that I can possibly lock it up this weekend, but it depends on how Ed does, and the rest of the guys as well. Everything I’ve accomplished this year has really been starting to set in, going to the last two races here and Pomona, just sitting back and thinking about everything, it’s hard to believe what’s been accomplished and what we continue to accomplish.”

Krawiec is currently second 6.830 at 198.85 and defending world champion Matt Smith is a spot behind after going 6.842 at 196.53.

Qualifying continues at 12:00 p.m. PT on Saturday at the NHRA Nevada Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Max Verstappen dominates day 1 of the FORMULA 1 MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX Presented by Heineken

  • Three-time World Champion topped both free practice sessions, while Sergio Perez returned to the top of the table
  • Crowd of 109,245 fans flocked to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

Mexico City. October 27, 2023 – Max Verstappen led both Friday’s Free Practice sessions at the 2023 FORMULA 1 MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX Presented by Heineken at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in front of a crowd of 109,245 fans.

During Free Practice 2 (FP2) – the day’s fastest – the Oracle Red Bull Racing driver set a lap time of 1:18.686. McLaren’s Lando Norris was second fastest with a time of 1:18.805, while Charles Leclerc came third in the Ferrari, just 0.266s behind Verstappen, setting the stage for a fierce battle in Saturday’s Qualifying.

Valtteri Bottas put his Alfa Romeo fourth fastest, ahead of Mexican Sergio Pérez, who looked strong in the Red Bull and was consistently among the top drivers throughout the day.

Rounding out the top 10 were Daniel Ricciardo (Scuderia AlphaTauri), Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes-AMG Petronas), Esteban Ocon (BWT Alpine), Oscar Piastri (McLaren), and George Russell (Mercedes-AMG Petronas), in a session which Pirelli used to test a new tyre compound.

During FP2, there was a threat of rain, and a light drizzle began to fall just 15 minutes before the end of the session. However, it was short-lived and did not require tyre changes, nor did it have an adverse effect on the handling of the cars. The only incident of the day involved Fernando Alonso, who momentarily lost control of his Aston Martin and spun at turn 9, but without consequence.

Verstappen also set the fastest time in FP1 with the Dutchman topping the standings with a time of 1:19.718. The big surprise, however, was Alex Albon, who was the second fastest in the Williams with a time of 1:19.813.

Friday was also the first day of on-track activities for the 26 cars that will take part in the Super Copa Gran Turismo Mexico (GTM) race. The hour-long session was led by Gerardo Nieto in the #42 V8-powered car, with a fastest time of 1:52.040 over 12 laps. The Formula 4 NACAM cars also had their first free practice session.

Action on track will resume on Saturday with Formula 1 Free Practice 3 and Qualifying.

Navigating Boredom: Understanding the Causes of Life Monotony

By

Boredom is a ubiquitous phenomenon, an emotion that affects individuals from many backgrounds. Comprehending the underlying factors behind the repetitiveness of everyday tasks or the occasional feeling of apathy is crucial. This article will examine the complex factors that may contribute to a sense of boredom and provide strategies for effectively dealing with this widespread feeling. 

Absence of Challenge

Remaining Inside the Confines of One’s Comfort Zone

The inclination to stay in one’s comfort zone is a prominent factor in the monotony of life. Life may rapidly lose its exhilaration when we grow too familiar with our daily patterns and evade difficulties. Acknowledging that development and advancement often arise from challenging our limits and welcoming novel encounters is crucial. 

Intellectual Challenges and Personal Development

Participating in activities that actively engage and excite your cognitive faculties is advisable to alleviate the boredom caused by the lack of stimulation. Engaging in intellectual pursuits, such as adopting a new hobby, pursuing further education, or setting personal objectives, may provide a profound sense of direction and satisfaction. 

Monotony of Surroundings

Another facet of life’s monotony is the lack of diversity in one’s environment. Engaging in repetitive tasks in familiar environments might lead to a sense of inertia. To counteract this, push yourself to explore unfamiliar places, even in your own urban area. The impact of a change in environment on one’s attitude and outlook on life may be pretty stimulating. 

Social Isolation

The Correlation Between Social Isolation and Boredom  

Solitude may be a prominent factor contributing to the repetitiveness of existence. Insufficient genuine connections or interactions can lead to feelings of disconnection and dissatisfaction. Humans have an innate inclination towards socialization, and a lack of social contact can lead to feelings of boredom. 

Whether through in-person interactions, virtual meetings, or online communities, finding ways to connect with others can help alleviate loneliness and boredom and contribute to a more fulfilling life.

Significance of Social Interactions and Involvement in the Community

It is essential to prioritize social contacts to tackle the social dimension of boredom. It might include fortifying current connections or actively pursuing new ones. Participating in groups, volunteering, or engaging in community activities may facilitate social interaction and cultivate a feeling of inclusion and meaning. 

It’s also important to take breaks and schedule downtime to rest and recharge, as overexertion and burnout can exacerbate boredom and stress.

Repetitive Work 

  • Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Life Satisfaction 

For many individuals, employment constitutes a substantial proportion of their everyday existence. The correlation between work happiness and overall life satisfaction is indisputable. Engaging in monotonous, repetitive tasks that offer little opportunity for personal development and creative expression might lead to monotony permeating one’s existence. 

  • Striking a harmonious balance between work and leisure 

Achieving a harmonious equilibrium between work and leisure activities is crucial to mitigating the impact of monotonous tasks. Engage in hobbies, interests, or side projects that serve as a means for expressing creativity and fostering personal development. Engaging in periodic intervals of rest and ensuring that your recreational activities are intellectually or emotionally stimulating will revitalize your energy and disrupt the repetitive nature of routine. 

Mental Health Factors

Effects of Mental Health Disorders

The state of our mental health dramatically influences our perception of life. Psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, or persistent stress may add to a sense of monotony. It is crucial to acknowledge these disorders’ presence and seek expert help to solve them. Seeking help from a mental health professional can improve quality of life, relationships, and productivity. You can look at a depression hotline as the first step toward reaching out for compassionate support and understanding. Speaking with trained professionals can help you gain clarity, find coping strategies, and feel less alone in managing emotional challenges.

Advantages of Mindfulness and Wellness Practices

Engaging in mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga, may help people effectively regulate their mental well-being and reduce feelings of ennui. These practices cultivate introspection and psychological fortitude, enabling you to experience satisfaction in the present moment and build a more gratifying life. Flewd also focuses on stress-care habits and simple lifestyle adjustments that support emotional balance and help counter persistent feelings of restlessness.

How to Address Boredom

While understanding the underlying factors contributing to boredom is essential, it is equally important to actively tackle and resolve it. Below are a few pragmatic measures you may use to manage and mitigate feelings of ennui effectively: 

  1. Engage in a different activity to divert your attention

Occasionally, the most effective approach to counteract boredom is to divert your attention towards captivating pursuits. Engaging in activities such as viewing films, playing games, or socializing with new individuals might provide a momentary respite from the monotony of routine. You can also pick up a book and explore the works of renowned authors like J.D. Barker, J.K. Rowling, Jojo Moyes, Neil Gaiman, and many more; whatever piques your curiosity.

  1. Encounter someone online or in person

Meeting unfamiliar individuals, whether in person or on digital platforms, can be a thrilling way to diversify your social engagements. Interacting with individuals from other cultural and social backgrounds can lead to new social connections, novel viewpoints, and exciting encounters. Click Here, for example, to head to a website where you can chat with hundreds of different AI avatars of all your favorite books, films, and TV characters. They might not be real, but you can still engage with them and discover viewpoints you were unaware of before.

  1. Initiate the process of forming new social connections

Do not hesitate to go outside your familiar surroundings and establish new contacts. One way to do this is to initiate a discussion with a colleague, join a nearby club or community organization, or establish relationships with others with similar interests. 

  1. Rajabaji 

If you are looking for an alternative source of diversion and amusement, explore the options available at rajabaji. This online platform offers a variety of thrilling activities and events, ideal for diversifying your daily routine and infusing your life with excitement. 

Conclusion

Experiencing the monotony of life is a widespread occurrence, although it is not always a permanent one. Gaining insight into the origins of boredom is the first stride in effectively dealing with it. You may actively reduce boredom and cultivate a more satisfying existence by acknowledging the consequences of remaining in your comfort zone, experiencing social isolation, engaging in repetitive labor, and considering mental health. 

Therefore, seize the chance to overcome monotony and fill your existence with exhilaration and significance. Remember that boredom is not a permanent condition; it catalyzes taking action. By pursuing novel endeavors, engaging in active social interaction, and exploring unfamiliar situations, one can liberate oneself from the constraints of monotony and cultivate a dynamic, gratifying life.

Toyota Racing – Sammy Smith
NASCAR Cup Series Quotes

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (October 27, 2023) – Joe Gibbs Racing driver Sammy Smith was made available to media after winning the pole for Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Martinsville Speedway on Friday. It is Smith’s first career NASCAR pole award.

SAMMY SMITH, No. 18 Pilot Flying J/Pringles Toyota GR Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing

Can you walk us through that lap?

“Yeah, it was a good lap. That first lap was a little bit off. I had a little bit of lock up, so I tried to adjust that a little bit and was able to get the pole there on the second lap. I kind of knew that second lap, going in, was going to be faster. Just kind of needed to get heat in the tires with it being colder right now. I feel like we have a really good Pilot Flying J, Pringles Supra for tomorrow’s race. I feel like practice was good, qualifying was good. Just have to go execute tomorrow.”

What was the key exiting off pit road to start your qualifying lap?

“I don’t think anything special – you just have to go hard to get heat in the tires, and it seemed like a lot of guys, their first lap – their fastest lap was the first lap, so I kind of knew I needed to get heat in the tires, and not make too big of a mistake on that first lap, and then my second lap was going to be faster.”

What did you learn from the Spring race here?

“I’ve been here a couple of times in the Xfinity car and a couple of times in a late model. This year – the first race – I learned a lot, what I need to do to my car, where John Hunter (Nemechek) and Cole Custer were running. I feel like they were the best two cars all night. I think we learned a lot with what we needed to do. I feel good going into tomorrow.”

How does facing a must-win situation narrow the strategy plans for tomorrow?
“I think there is really no strategy for us. We just have to go out and win. I feel like that is the biggest thing for us. I feel like we can do that. I feel like we need to do whatever it takes.”

FUELTECH NHRA PRO MOD DRAG RACING SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE DECIDED IN LAS VEGAS AT RACE POWERED BY JBS EQUIPMENT

-

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 27, 2023) – The championship in the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Type A Motorsports is on the line this weekend in Las Vegas and it is headed toward an epic finish at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as part of the NHRA Nevada Nationals.

It is the last of four events in the first year of the NHRA Pro Mod’s playoffs, as well as the 10th and final race during the 2023 season. This weekend’s race is powered by JBS Equipment and the last race of the season will also be featured during Sunday’s broadcast on Fox Sports 1 (FS1).

Defending world champion Kris Thorne is currently the points leader as he looks for back-to-back titles, but with the finale being points-and-a-half, there are plenty of standouts within striking distance. That includes JBS Equipment President/Owner Justin Bund, who trails Thorne by 31 points, which is just more than a round.

Getting a chance to race for a championship at an event powered by his company adds another thrilling incentive for Bond, who has picked up three victories in 2023.

“The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) is widely recognized as one of the largest sanctioning bodies in the world,” Bond said. “With its prestigious reputation and extensive reach, it presents a unique opportunity for companies to showcase their brand and support various racing classes. In this context, my company JBS Equipment has made an effortless personal and business decision to get involved with the NHRA and specifically support the pro modified class.

“For JBS Equipment, aligning our brand with the NHRA and the pro modified class is a strategic move that brings numerous benefits. By associating our name with such a prominent racing organization, we gain increased visibility and exposure to a wide, relevant audience. This exposure fosters brand recognition and helps to establish JBS Equipment as a reputable and reliable company.”

Mike Castellana, Jason Lee and Stan Shelton are all within 100 points of Thorne as well, with Castellana trailing by 50 points and Lee 69 points back. Shelton is 91 points behind Thorne, who has been outstanding during the last stretch of the season.

He jumped into the points lead with his Indy victory – Thorne’s second win of the year – and maintained it in St. Louis, though both Thorne and Bond struggled during the weekend. Bond fell in the first round, while Thorne was eliminated a round later, keeping the likes of Castellana and Lee well within contention at the final race of the year.

The title contenders will have their work cut out for them in Las Vegas, though, with another big field of standout competitors. That list includes the likes of St. Louis winner Jordan Lazic, who won in his debut race in the series, J.R. Gray, former world champions Khalid AlBalooshi and Jose Gonzalez, and Sidnei Frigo.

Featuring the world’s fastest doorslammer race cars, the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Type A Motorsports offers something unique and exciting for every drag racing fan. The class continues to grow in popularity and is highlighted by historic muscle cars and a variety of late-model American muscle cars, as well as a number of different power adders.

FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Type A Motorsports qualifying will feature two rounds at 2:15 and 5:20 p.m. PT on Friday, and the final two rounds on Saturday at 2:05 and 5:20 p.m. The first round of eliminations is scheduled for 9:40 a.m. PT on Sunday.
