Sunday's final results from the 60th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. The race is the first of 24 in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series:

Tibor Kadar made a move in a big way during the final session of Comp Eliminator qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals to leapfrog Joshua Lee and overtake the top spot.

Kadar, who resides in Glendale, Arizona, went from -.671 under the D/Econo Altered index to -.758 with an 8.012 elapsed time, and races from the No. 1 spot in Saturday's opening of eliminations. Lee, whose H/Econo Altered was -.713 on Thursday, also improved but his -.743, 8.747 was only good enough for second.

The 2020 NHRA season kicked off on Thursday with the first day of qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Ca. A full complement of NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series hit the Pomona Fairplex in both qualifying and time trials.

Justin Lamb, a five-time world champion in the NHRA’s sportsman ranks, will start the 2020 season with a new look on his Silver State Plumbing Chevy Cobalt Super Stock entry. The new two-tone blue paint job is one of several changes in the Lamb Motorsports camp going into the new season. 
 
“Shane Thompson and Brian Peterson have been longtime supporters of our racing,” Lamb said of the Silver State Plumbing owners. “This year we decided to get the car painted in the colors of Silver State Plumbing. Jerron Settles painted it, Teran Marsell at Team Acme laid down the graphics, and Logan Staab designed the new look. We’re really happy with it and can’t wait to hit the track.”

Who knew that Evansville would become the spot on a Saturday in the middle of January to witness history,  yet it is. Racers from Texas, Maryland, North Carolina, and every state in the Midwest attended the 6th Annual DragstersForSale.Com Practice Tree Race, presented by Streetway Marketing and Media this past Saturday. The event has become a must-attend event during the offseason, attracting champions and who's who at every level of the drag racing, 200 racers came to show off their skills.

The Warm-Up offered weekend entries to premier bracket races in the nation, including Triple’s at the Million Dollar Event, Triples in Vegas, and The Derby City Event. The Main Event included big cash payouts leading into the most significant prize or cash award in Practice Tree History to date, a complete Oakley Engine Performance 632 to the winner, valued at over $23,000. 

“I guess we are going to have to give away a complete race hauler next year,” a smiling Don O’Neal, event organizer stated. "We work hard to think up great ideas to entertain during the offseason for our event, the idea of doing a complete engine with Oakley Engine is going to be tough to top," O’Neal stated.

Scott Duggins had no idea what his purpose in life was in 1977. All the 10-year old understood was that a trip to Bristol Dragway, then Thunder Valley, with his parents Butch and JoAnne, was going to be the time of his life.

Three years later, when his dad strapped him into the driver's seat of the family's six-second Chevrolet Vega, with drag racer Quain Stott in the passenger seat, then he knew.

"I went like 6.90 [eighth-mile], and I knew at that point that's all I was going to do," Duggins admitted.
