NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Fernando Cuadra Jr. qualified for his first Pro Stock race on the back of the 6.841-second pass he made in the fourth and final qualifying session. He qualified in the No. 15 position and will race Deric Kramer in the first round at the Virginia NHRA Nationals. 

Erica Enders made the quickest pass and earned three bonus points but did not improve on her previous time. That left her qualified in the No. 4 position and booked her a matchup with Kenny Delco, who finally got down the track with a 6.68-second hit. Val Smeland escaped the No. 17 spot and bumped Alan 
Prusiensky out of the field in his final run. 

Line earned two bonus points and secured pole position for the first time in 2019 and the 54th time in his career. Kramer secured one bonus point for running the third-quickest time in the final qualifying session.
