Third-generation drag racer Camrie Caruso, driver of the Powerbuilt Tools Chevrolet Camaro, was recognized as the 2022 NHRA Rookie of the Year during the final qualifying session at the Auto Club Finals in Pomona yesterday. Caruso and Top Fuel rookie Scott Farley were named finalists prior to the NHRA Nevada Nationals and following a vote by a national panel of motorsports journalists Caruso became just the fifth female driver to win the award which was first presented in 1990. Caruso along with the 2022 Camping World Drag Racing Series class champions will be celebrated tomorrow night during the NHRA season ending championship banquet at the Pechanga Resort Casino.

Richard Freeman had a vision for Pro Stock when it was failing. The veteran team owner hunkered down and developed a formula to make the factory hot rod division viable for years to come.

Saturday afternoon at the AAA NHRA Finals, Freeman announced the Johnson's Horsepowered Garage (JHG) team would expand to two cars with 2022 NHRA Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders joining Bo Butner under the #JHGDriven umbrella. Both JHG entries will run the full NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Pro Stock schedule.

Sunday's final results from the 57th annual Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. The race is the final of 22 in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series:

The maximum number of points a driver in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle can earn this weekend at the NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, Calif., is 191. 

Only 199 points separate top-ranked Brittany Force and No. 10 Clay Millican in the Top Fuel class, but the champion will almost certainly come from the trio of Force, No. 2 Justin Ashley, or No. 3 Mike Salinas. Antron Brown is fourth, 78 points behind Force, and Steve Torrence is fifth, 87 points back. With too many drivers to leapfrog, No. 6 Austin Prock (-126) and No. 7 Josh Hart (-161), have slipped out of the championship conversation.  

Force, the 2017 champion, knows her second title isn’t a guaranteed deal. 

Fans hungry for a championship battle in the Funny Car category this weekend at the Auto Club NHRA Finals have so far not been disappointed.

Each of the top three drivers in the class have experienced extreme highs and lows through two days of competition. And if Friday was an appetizer and Saturday the main course, the dessert will come on Sunday.

Troy Coughlin Jr. has accomplished a lot in his young career.

Few of those accomplishments, however, quite stack up to what he achieved on Saturday.
