The Maryland Top Fuel final between Shawn Langdon and Doug Kalitta was epic, but not the closest. The Kalitta vs JR Todd 2016 Atlanta final was even closer (.0000).

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

@_TaylorKitchen_ But have you seen Austin Prock and Kimi Raikkonen in the same place at the same time?

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

2026 Indy 500 Margin of Victory: .0233 seconds.

2026 NHRA Potomac Nats Top Fuel final Margin of Victory .0002 seconds.

Make of that what you will.

The inaugural @NHRA Potomac Nationals at Maryland Int’l Raceway is SOLD OUT on Saturday. Appears some gambles are worth taking.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

Actually, no. Remember Whit Bazemore’s Fast Orange car or Roger Gustin’s LAVA jet?

[Noah @MightyMack03]

Gonna be honest. "Official hand cleaner" is a new one...

As part of @NHRA's 75th Anniversary celebration, an elite panel of NHRA Sportsman racing legends has collaborated to select the Top 50 Sportsman Racers from NHRA’s first 75 years, which will be revealed over the coming weeks. #NHRA75

@KellyCrandall Kelly, please get to the bottom of this. We (your NHRA friends) are scratching our heads.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

@pk500 @JayOnSC My thoughts exactly.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

Which he also did in Gainesville to help get the sell out crowd into the facility as quickly as possible.

.@NHRA President Glen Cromwell is out with police and track staff helping direct traffic into South Georgia Motorsports Park today.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

@jakequery @TommyJohnson_Jr 300k is a sold out Indy 500. Think someone missed a decimal point.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

@flo_hauz @stoolpresidente Agreed

[National Dragster @NHRADragster]

There are plenty of drivers in line to become the next first-time winner in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Our Senior Editor, @ThatguyKMac, takes a closer look to see who the most likely candidates are.

Trivia Time: Maddi Gordon is officially entered for Gainesville in Top Fuel. Her @NHRA number is 100 not a traditional Division 7 number. Who knows why?

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

Things to watch in Gainesville. The Right Trailers TF Allstar Callout. Kalitta, Langdon, Brown, Stewart, Ashley, Millican, Reed, Hart. If you have top pick, who the heck do you choose? No ducks in this field. #NHRA

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

@SpeedySticks007 You’ve missed the point entirely. The car count will be just fine.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

Two weeks from the Gators and the entry lists are far from full but already some interesting developments.

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

To the Olympic alpine skier who missed a gate and said “I don’t know of another sport where you can go from an advantage position to out of it so quickly.” Man, you’re gonna love NHRA drag racing. #Olympics2026 #NHRA

[Kevin McKenna @ThatguyKMac]

Two weeks before Gainesville and you think we’re done with silly season? Don’t be silly. #NHRA
