Rain forces NHRA to move Winternationals finals to Phoenix

Heavy rain, along with lightning and a hailstorm, made it impossible to complete the final round on Sunday in Pomona, so those races will be run on April 6 at the Arizona Nationals

PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

The NHRA announced that the Winternationals finals, rained out on Sunday at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip, will be run on Saturday, April 6, at the Arizona Nationals in Phoenix.

Mid-afternoon heavy rain, along with lightning and a hailstorm, made it impossible to complete the final round of the Winternationals in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock. The Pomona champions will be determined by races run at the end of Saturday qualifying in each class at Firebird Motorsports Park.

Justin Ashley and Tony Schumacher will square off for the Top Fuel title. It will be Matt Hagan versus John Force in Funny Car, and Erica Enders and Dallas Glenn will vie for the Pro Stock crown.
