The season opening NHRA Winternationals in Pomona are in full swing and eliminations start Sunday morning. Brittany Force, Matt Hagan, and Jeg Coughlin Jr. are all three going into Sunday in the top spots in Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock respectively. There is nothing finer than starting off the season with a number one qualifier, as long as you can keep that trend rolling and go rounds on Sunday. At this point, these three lead the points chase over all others, but can they capitalize and take home the win on Sunday?
