POMONA, CA – November 16, 2024 – Championship Sunday has arrived at the in-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at โPomona Raceway, promising dramatic conclusions to several NHRA Mission Foods Series titles. Competition begins at 11:00 a.m. with live coverage set to air on FS1 at 5:00 p.m. (ET).
In Top Fuel, โ16 drivers have won races this season and 11 have appeared in at least one final.โ Tasca III, Wilkerson, DeJoria, and NHRA Rookie of the Year contenderโ Hyde are poised to contend for wins.
The Pro Stock championship hangs in the balance between KB Titan Racing teammates Dallas Glenn and Greg Anderson. โฃGlenn holdsโ a 92-point lead and will be crowned champion ifโ he defeats David Cuadra in theโ first round. Glenn and Anderson have โcollectively secured 14 of 17 event victories this season,โฃ with Erica Enders, Greg Stanfield, and Cory Reed each earning aโฃ single win.
