In what has been a remarkably successful year for Matt Smith Racing in Pro Stock Motorcycle, the team knows it will have a great shot at a 2020 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series world title. But it will take this weekend’s Dodge NHRA Finals presented by Pennzoil at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to determine just who will end up on top in this unprecedented year.







Smith is the heavy favorite to claim his fourth world championship on his Denso/Stockseth/MSR EBR. He’s been dominant in qualifying, picking up four straight No. 1 qualifiers. He’s picked up two wins in that span, but Smith knows he has to finish strong against a number of standout competitors making a late-season charge.







Teammate Scotty Pollacheck and Eddie Krawiec, who won in Houston to claim his first victory in more than two years, are currently 78 points back of Smith. Reigning world champion Andrew Hines is 86 points back of the leader in a crowded field, but the veteran Smith is solely focused on his performance in Las Vegas. If he performs like he has for the majority of the 2020 season, the championship is his.

“For us to clinch the world championship, we just have to make four runs and have no bad luck on those four runs,” said Smith, a 26-time event winner. “If that happens, we will win our fourth world championships and that will mean the world to myself and this team.”

The race also hosts the final event of the 2020 E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series season. The stop in Las Vegas includes thrilling competition in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series as well, where future stars of the sport hone their skills, along with the SAMTech.edu Factory Stock Showdown Drag Racing Series and the Mickey Thompson Top Fuel Harley Drag Racing Series.       
 
NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series qualifying will feature two rounds at 12:00 and 3:15 p.m. PT on Saturday, Oct. 31. Final eliminations are scheduled for 10 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. Television coverage includes live action during eliminations beginning at 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 1 on Fox Sports 1 (FS1).
 

As of today, there are no longer any tickets available for the event due to reaching the limited allowable capacity.
