Top Fuel is the closest battle as eight drivers entered the weekend with a mathematical chance to win the title. The favorite is Justin Ashley, who leads Antron Brown by 44 points. Shawn Langdon is one point back of Brown. One of those three is likely crowned champion, but Doug Kalitta, Steve Torrence, and Clay Millican are all within 100 points.

The crash occurred when the plane attempted to land at an airfield near the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, according to a report.
