TOP ALCOHOL Top Ten Points Standings

We've got just enough time this morning to post the updated Top Alcohol points, starting with the Funny Cars. Tomorrow we'll put up the PRO points standings where all the classes are still at least mathematically up for grabs. Please note that points with a YELLOW background indicate that more points could be earned for not completed events. RED numbers indicate that a racer cannot catch the points leader. XXX indicate that no further races are possible to attend.

This championship has already been decided when Sean Bellemeur won the Carolina Nationals in September. Sitting in second place, Maddi Gordon, could theoretically be overtaken by #4 Brian Hough, but that remains a remote possibility.

This battle is going all in Shawn Cowie's favour with just two racers remaining with an extremely slim chance of overtaking him for the 2024 world championship. Jackie Fricke would have to win the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals next week at Pomona, AND have Cowie go out in the first round, or not qualify at that event. Even more insurmountable odds face Angelle Sampey, as she would have to not only win this week's West Regional event at Las Vegas, but also take the finals at Pomona. And have Cowie fail to qualify or lose in the first round at Pomona.
