Callout

With just two races remaining to qualify, the field for the Pep Boys All-Star NHRA Funny Car Callout is almost set. Eliminations for the special event will take place Sunday at the Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals.

Currently, only Robert Hight and Ron Capps are locked into the Callout field, and seven other drivers will be jockeying for the remaining six positions. Right now, Tim Wilkerson holds down the final position with J.R. Todd 120 points back. With 350 points still on the table, Todd will likely need to qualify in the top four in Topeka and Brainerd and hope that Wilkerson qualifies in the bottom half of the field at both.

Below are the current standings, and below that are the points assignments based on qualifying positions.
