The Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Indy are in full swing and that means the biggest and baddest drag race of the year is making heroes and breaking hearts right this moment. But, if you didn’t get to spend your Friday watching what was happening on FS1, then it’s a good thing NHRA is sharing highlights from the number one qualifying runs yesterday. Make no mistake, the fact that you qualify on top of the heap does not guarantee a trip to the finals at any NHRA event, but when it’s Indy, aka the Big Go, you’ll take whatever good mojo and advantage you can find. After all, nearly every NHRA National Champion that has won Indy will tell you that getting a Wally from the U.S. Nationals is arguably more life changing than an NHRA National Championship. That’s saying something.
We’re pretty sure that Brittany Force, Jack Beckman, Jason Line, and Andrew Hines will stand tall if they can keep hold of their number one qualifying spots.
