The NHRA has unveiled its plans for the concluding events of the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals and the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge, set to unfold at Firebird Motorsports Park during the 39th NHRA Arizona Nationals from April 5-7. 

Friday’s qualifying session kicks off with the first round of the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge at 4 p.m. PT, with the bonus event finals following on Saturday during the second round of qualifying at 11:30 a.m. PT.

Saturday’s action intensifies with final rounds in Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock as part of the Arizona  final qualifying starting at 2 p.m. The postponed final rounds from Pomona will run at the end category in the final session. 

The NHRA Arizona Nationals’ eliminations are slated for 11 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 7, with televised coverage available on FS1.

The Pomona finals will include in Top Fuel Justin Ashley, who eyes a triple win over the weekend, a feat he previously achieved in Bristol. To secure victory in Phoenix, Ashley must overcome Tony Schumacher, the winningest driver in Top Fuel history, who recently advanced to his first final round of the year in Pomona.

In Funny Car, more drag racing history awaits John Force as he is set to race reigning world champion Matt Hagan. Force, seeking his first victory since 2022, confronts Hagan, aiming for a repeat Winternationals triumph and his 50th career win.

Pro Stock features defending champion Erica Enders facing off against Dallas Glenn, the defending Winternationals winner. Enders, a six-time world champion, pursues back-to-back wins to start her 2024 season and her 50th career national event victory.
