With the unique callout aspect of the bonus race, Torrence will get the first opportunity to select his first-round opponent. If he doesn\u2019t select Kalitta, the 2023 champ will get the second pick, moving down the line until all first-round matchups are set. The driver who makes the quickest winning run in the first round will then select their semifinal opponent, locking in the other matchup.<\/p>\n
Stewart, who advanced to a pair of final rounds during his first Top Fuel season, will have his first opportunity to take part in the Right Trailers Top Fuel All-Star Callout, and being in the eighth spot, he will get called out by a driver in the opening round.<\/p>\n
Those first-round selections take place at 12 p.m. ET on Friday, March 7 in the\u00a0Top Eliminator Club,<\/a>\u00a0with the opening round of racing slated for 12:15 p.m. on Saturday. The semifinals follow at 2:20 p.m. and the final round takes place at 3:30 p.m. A special Callout broadcast will air at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday on FS1.<\/p>\n Torrence won the inaugural Right Trailers Top Fuel All-Star Callout in 2022, with the Texan capturing the victory after weather pushed the completion of the bonus race to Indy. Local native Josh Hart provided a feel-good story in 2023 by earning the victory from the No. 8 position, while Brown\u2019s championship run started with his memorable specialty race victory a year ago.<\/p>\n Brown defeated Brittany Force in the final under the lights in Gainesville in 2024, setting the stage for a run at his fourth world championship. This year is a loaded field in the bonus race, as Torrence, Kalitta, Langdon, Brown and Force have won world titles. With a big purse, a special Callout trophy and plenty of bragging rights on the line, it can also provide the perfect boost to open the season at one of the most historic races on the NHRA schedule.<\/p>\n In 2024, Langdon (Top Fuel), J.R. Todd (Funny Car), Erica Enders (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) all won the Gatornationals to open the year. It marked the first double-up victory for Kalitta Motorsports, while six-time world champ Enders won the historic race for the first time. This year\u2019s race will again be broadcast on FS1, including eliminations at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 9.<\/p>\n NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series qualifying features two rounds at 2 and 4:30 p.m. ET on Friday, March 7, and the final two qualifying rounds on Saturday, March 8 at 12:30 and 3:00 p.m. Final eliminations are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, March 9.<\/p>\n To purchase tickets to the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway, visit\u00a0www.nhra.evenue.net\/<\/a>.
