On an overcast and partly sunny, windy day, the Texas Motorplex hosted the annual Fall Nationals, the 17th race of the 2021 NHRA season. This means there are only four races to go in the Countdown to the Championship.
With just three races left on the schedule, Doug Kalitta and Steve Torrence are in a league of their own. Both Torrence and Kalitta have traded the points lead during the last few weeks with Torrence having the upper hand by two points over Kalitta.
