Brian Corradi, crew chief for Antron Brown, the No. 1 qualifier in Saturday’s abbreviated qualifying doesn’t believe the 3.708 elapsed time his driver recorded was legit. He does believe the run would have still been the best of the session.

NHRA officials announced Saturday evening the run would not be recognized as a record, but the team could remain No. 1. The culprit of the bogus run was likely a recurring malfunction that sanctioning body allowed to go uncorrected in an attempt to complete the qualifying session.

NHRA officials announced Saturday evening the run would not be recognized as a record, but the team could remain No. 1. The culprit of the bogus run was likely a recurring malfunction that sanctioning body allowed to go uncorrected in an attempt to complete the qualifying session.

“A 3.84 likely,” Corradi surmised.

When it comes to the two quick runs recorded by the Funny Cars of Robert Hight and Del Worsham, Corradi said those runs were legit because the incremental times added up.

“I agree with the NHRA’s decision not to recognize our run as a record, but I am extremely disappointed that we don’t get the qualifying points. That’s what stings the most,” Corradi added.

As a result of two questionable runs, the NHRA didn't award qualifying points.
