Congratulations to 'GTXDAN' (FBBO), 'stroked340' (FABO) and 'Yunick13' (FABO) for sharing the 2025 NHRA Four-Wide Nationals Top Qualifier title with outstanding totals of 23.5 bonus points each. Each of them correctly picked the #1 qualifiers in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock, and the #2 qualifier in Funny Car.
'Budnicks' (FBBO) was right behind with 22.5 bonus points.

More great picks!

We have 15 players again this week and 12 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with one Round 1 Quad containing 3 drivers: Doug Kalitta (6 picks), Justin Ashley (3 picks) and Clay Millican (1 pick). Only 1 of those drivers is guaranteed to move on to Round 2 since only 2 of the 4 drivers in the Quad move on. Two of the Round 1 Quad have 1 picked driver, and the fourth Round 1 Quad does not contain any picked drivers.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with two Round 1 Quads containing 2 drivers, one Round 1 Quad contains 1 picked driver, and the fourth Round 1 Quad does not contain any picked drivers.
* 3 different Pro Stock drivers with two Round 1 Quads containing only 1 picked driver each. One picked driver did not qualify for eliminations.
Good luck all!

I suggest you double-check to make sure your drivers are racing since there were some no-shows at each of the first four events of the season. If your posted driver skips the event and you do not select a replacement prior to the start of eliminations, I will use your posted driver from the most recent completed event. Unfortunately, any replacement driver after the start of qualifying will not be eligible for any event bonus points.
Also, there are drivers in all four professional classes at this event competing for the first time this year.

The current weekend weather forecast shows:
* A 63% chance of rain on Friday starting about 2:00pm and a high of 76F
