2 races to go and a lot to be resolved

We are down to 2 races left in the NHRA season. This is perhaps the best season to be a fan of NHRA drag racing. The points in 3 of 4 professional classes are so tight it is impossible to predict who will win the championships. I am not going to use this blog to recap the points. The points can be found here. Instead, I thought I would provide a list of questions for everyone to think about:

  • Will someone named other than Dixon or Schumacher win the Top Fuel championship?
  • Will Del Worsham or Mike Neff win a championship after being so dominant in the regular season?
  • Will Matt Hagan be able to win the championship after coming so close last year?
  • Will Spencer Massey be able to bounce back from his DNQ in Phoenix?
  • With 5 cars in contention, will DSR double up on championships?
  • Will a rookie win the Pro Stock Motorcycle championship for the 2nd consecutive year? (Hector Arana Jr.)
  • Will Erica Enders get her first win in Pro Stock?
  • Will Tony Schumacher win a race this season?
  • Will Johnny Gray continue to spoil the hopes of championship contenders?
  • Will the drama in PSM get overheated to the point where punches are thrown?
  • Who will win the Road to the Future Award?
  • Will NHRA apologize to Don Schumacher for making his top fuel teams remove the shrouds without having any evidence of a performance advantage?
Please feel free to leave your comments below. We will know the answers to all of these questions in just a few weeks.
