Defending NHRA champion Matt Hagan will miss this weekend’s NHRA U.S. Nationals after testing positive for COVID-19. Don Schumacher Racing issued a statement Friday, just before the Camping World Drag Racing Series Funny Car division opened qualifying.
“Hagan has not been in contact with anyone since his diagnosis and is currently quarantining,” the statement read. “DSR is committed to the safety of its employees and fans, and Hagan will return to competition once all appropriate health and safety measures have been implemented.”
Filling in for Hagan will be Tommy Johnson Jr.

Brittany Force and her nemesis Steve Torrence surely under the Lucas Oil Raceway lights Friday night changed the minds of anyone who has thought that the NHRA’s “Indy,” the U.S. Nationals, “The Big Go” has lost some of its luster.
Together they put on an epic show on the 1,000-foot course to close nitro qualifying on the opening day of the Dodge SRT U.S. Nationals.

During the first round of Pro Mod qualifying at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, driver Rick Hord’s car made contact with the wall before crossing the centerline and making contact with the other wall. Hord exited the car under his own power, and showed no apparent injuries. 
In a surprise move to celebrate Kalitta Motorsports team owner and namesake Connie Kalitta, it was revealed that Shawn Langdon will be racing a Bounty Hunter tribute Top Fuel dragster this weekend at the NHRA U.S. Nationals. The car was unveiled for the first time to Kalitta in the DHL Kalitta Air pits on Friday afternoon in advance of the first qualifying session. The entire organization also celebrated Kalitta with commemorative t-shirts.
