Kalitta shooting for 50th career win; Bob Tasca, Gaige Herrera also fast in Seattle.
Searching for his 50th career victory, Top Fuel veteran Doug Kalitta powered to the provisional No. 1 qualifier on Friday at the 34th annual Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceway.
Kalitta put together a run of 3.753-seconds at 327.66 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Mac Tools dragster, putting him in line for his second top spot this season and 53rd in his career. The 49-time event winner will try to pick up his second win in Seattle as part of the second race in the NHRA’s three-race Western Swing and things appear on the upswing, with Kalitta advancing to the final round last weekend in Denver.
"Tomorrow, I think you'll see more of the same in Q2, and then Q3 will be the throwdown run, so I certainly don't expect this to hold for No. 1 tomorrow night, but I fully expect us to pick up in the last session. So we'll see what we can do." "For us to come out with the win , we were definitely in awe," said Herrera, who scored his fourth win of the season there. 'I’m glad to be back as the provisional No. 1 and hopefully we're going to hold on to them tomorrow.
