Congratulations to '71dartswinger' (FABO) for winning the Top Qualifier title of the 2020 NHRA Arizona Nationals with an almost perfect total of 23.5 bonus points. He each picked the #1 qualifier in both Top Fuel and Funny Car and the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock. Way to go!
New player 'R413' is the top FBBO qualifier with 21.5 bonus points each. More great picks!
Good luck all in eliminations tomorrow!

We have 17 players this week with 16 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There could be two head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations if they both survive the opening round.
* 6 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There could be two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 5 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups and a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations.

Good luck all!
