I apologize for the delay in posting qualifying results from the Summit Racing Nationals at Norwalk. The qualifying results posted on nhra.com were incorrect and I had to go to a couple of alternate sources to get and verify correct qualifying results.

Congratulations to 'Nick2317' (FBBO) for winning the 9th event of the 2023 NHRA season Summit Racing Equipment Nationals Top Qualifier title with an outstanding total of 29.5 bonus points. He picked the #2 qualifiers in Top Fuel, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and the #3 qualifier in Funny Car. Way to go!
'Duster79' (FABO) was right behind with 29.0 bonus points.

More great picks!

We have 15 players again this week and 14 different driver combos made up of:
* 7 different Top Fuel drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #7 qualifier Justin Ashley (5 picks) and #10 qualifier Clay Millican (1 pick). There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if the drivers survive Round 1.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.
* 6 different Pro Stock drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #8 qualifier Deric Kramer (1 pick) and #9 qualifier Camrie Caruso (1 pick). There is also a possible head-to-head matchup in Round 2.
