Steve Torrence and Tommy Johnson Jr. enter Heartland Motorsports Park as the most recent winners on tour, while Clay Millican and Courtney Force are the most recent winners in Topeka. Stevie Jackson won the last time we saw Pro Mod on the NHRA circuit and he has an opportunity to become a first time winner in Topeka as the series did not race at the track in 2019. Tii Tharpe won in Topeka in 2018, but teammate Jay Turner is the most recent Top Fuel Harley victory. Drew Skillman is the most recent Factory Stock victor.
