Championship picks
The 2016 Countdown to the Championship kicks off this weekend at the NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway, the first of six races that will determine this year's world champions in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle. Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Ron Capps (Funny Car), Jason Line (Pro Stock), and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) enter as the No. 1 seeds, but with only 30 points separating them from the No. 2 racers and 10 points between each of the remaining positions, the battle is wide-open. Who will win this year's titles? Weigh in below with your picks.
