2024 14th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - It's NITRO Burnin' Time Again!!!
Hey all -
Here's some corrected information learned from Brian Lohnes podcast discussion this week with Leah Pruett:
Since Leah qualified for the 2024 Pep Boys Top Fuel Callout that will be run at the upcoming Gatornationals, she announced that both she and Tony Stewart are entered as participants in the Top Fuel field.
Two Top Fuel cars to be prepped and maintained with only one crew! Both cars are currently built with the exact same parts and engine combination.
Leah explained the current plan is for Tony to run Q1 and Q2 on Friday and, hopefully, qualify toward the top of the ladder on Friday.
They would then put Tony's car in the hauler and bring hers out for the Callout that will be run prior to Q3 and Q4 on Saturday.
If she wins Callout round one, the crew will prep her car for Callout round two.
If she should lose Callout round one, her car will go back in the hauler and Tony's car will come back out to run Q4.
If Leah should go all three rounds and win the Callout then she will probably be qualified in the Top Fuel field for Sunday eliminations. and both cars will need to be prepped for Sunday.
If Tony is not qualified toward the top of the Top Fuel field after Q2 on Friday, they will have to make a decision as to if Leah will run the Callout or if Tony's car will be in Q3.
Wouldn't you love to see both Tony and Leah qualify for Sunday? And then have both cars win round 1 of eliminations and need to be prepped for round 2 by a single crew? It's going to be interesting and possibly very wild to watch.
If you haven't already, don't forget to post your driver picks before Q1 that is scheduled for 2:00pm EST (11:00am PST) on Friday, March 8.
