Defending event champ Richie Crampton extended his Gainesville Raceway win streak to five rounds with his first round-win of the season in the Kalitta/DHL machine while Steve Torrence took low e.t. away from Brittany Force to highlight a strong first round.

It’s a new year with a new sponsor, a new crew chief, and a new teammate for Brittany Force, and the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel champion couldn’t be more ready to reassert herself, and qualifying No. 1 at the Gatornationals is a good sign that she’s ready.

NHRA and Gainesville Raceway officials announced a sellout crowd for Saturday of the 50th annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.

Robert Hight scored his third straight No. 1 qualifying spot in Funny Car while low qualifier honors at the 50th Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals also went to Brittany Force, Rodger Brogdon, and Andrew Hines.

Three Funny Cars broke into the 3.8-second zone as qualifying resumed under cool and cloudy skies. Tommy Johnson Jr. leads qualifying with one session left after charting a 3.896 in the Make A Wish Hellcat Charger.

As predicted, Saturday Top Fuel qualifying completely obliterated the marks set in Friday’s warmer conditions as nine drivers, led by Brittany Force’s 3.718, bettered T.J. Zizzo’s Friday-leading pass of 3.762.

He has a 20-year-old chassis and an all-volunteer crew. He’s run just four races over the past two seasons. How the heck did T.J. Zizzo end up in the No. 1 qualifying spot at the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals Friday?
