Breaking Down the Numbers: NHRA Seeding For Countdown To Championship Absolutely Matters
Seeding For Countdown To Championship Absolutely Matters, Says NHRA’s Tony Schumacher
was counting points unapologetically long before the Countdown to the Championship cutoff race Labor Day weekend at Indianapolis. And he declared that a racer’s starting spot in the Countdown order definitely is significant.“Getting moved up a few spots to start the Countdown does matter. I’ve won championships and I’ve lost championships by less than one round. So don’t kid yourself into thinking that where you start the Countdown doesn’t matter,” Schumacher said.
If statistics remain true, the odds favor Brittany Force , Robert Hight , Erica Enders , and Matt Smith this year. They’re the points leaders. The numbers 7 has not been lucky to seventh seeds in Top Fuel. Leah Pruett is seeded seventh this year.No one in Top Fuel has become champion when starting from the fourth, fifth, seventh, or 10th position, either. That would preclude Torrence from earning a fifth consecutive championship and doesn’t help No. 5 Josh Hart, No. 7 Leah Pruett, or No. 10 Schumacher, either.
• Eddie Krawiec and L.E. Tonglet have vaulted from the No. 7 starting spot to take the crown. Matt Hagan won his 2014 Funny Car title from seventh place, as well. • Those close ones aren’t limited to the Top Fuel class. Jack Beckman captured his lone Funny Car crown in 2012, acing out Ron Capps by a mere two points. And just eight points separated Funny Car champion Gary Scelzi from runner-up Capps in 2005 and Robert Hight from second-place Beckman in 2019.
