Austin Prock, Alexis DeJoria, and Gaige Herrera are the low qualifiers after the opening day of the NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
Top Fuel’s Austin Prock powered to the provisional No. 1 qualifier position on Friday at Sonoma Raceway as he aims to pick up his first top spot of the year at the 35th annual Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
“I haven’t been that quick in a while,” Prock said. “I love working with this team and I have not had much success on the Western Swing in my career. I was very proud of what we did tonight. We dropped a cylinder on the first run and I was pretty mad. But I knew we were going to go up there and make a good run, and it rebounded nicely.“The conditions are going to be totally different tomorrow, but you can’t take anything bad out of going No. 1.
"All the stuff we learned through the trials and tribulations from last year has really paid off. We've come so close so many times. On a good day when everything lines up, we're going to get that win. We're so close - right on the cusp of it."
