Beckman fastest in the rain during Friday qualifying at the NHRA Finals

Racing was canceled Friday due to weather during the first qualifying session of the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.

The opening session of Funny Car was completed and part of Top Fuel took place before rain put an end to the racing action. There were no rides in Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle on Friday. Qualifying resumes Saturday at 11:30 a.m. PT, with two qualifying sessions for Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Funny Car’s Jack Beckman took the provisional No. 1 spot in the category on Friday, while Shawn Reed won the provisional top qualifier among the nine cars competing in the final of 20 races during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season and placed sixth of six races in the Countdown to the Championship play-offs.

Beckman drove 3.828 seconds and 534.82 km/h in his PEAK Chevrolet Camaro SS. His John Force Racing teammate, Austin Prock, will officially clinch the world championship on Saturday.

Shawn Reed posted a run of 3.712 seconds at 520.36 mph in his GESi dragster as he sought his first career No. 1 qualifying event.
