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!

* 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.

Sorry to hear that this is it for Denver. We always wanted to travel out there for a race. Now that daughter lives within an hour of it, we were going to go one of these years. Can't make it this year, so we're out of luck.

I assume that they will build & run it
just says in new owner is in the automotive business,
It'll be a big facility 1,100+ acres by Denver AP
dragstrip & possibly a gocart track & road course too
no more parking issues, brand new facilities,
