The final round will take place during the third qualifying session, which is slated for 1 p.m. PT on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Herrera, who was the No. 1 qualifier, went as quick as 6.752 at 200.05 in knocking off Chris Bostick, Clayton Howey and Joey Gladstone as he will try to track down his teammate and points leader at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals.
Gadson, the reigning world champion, qualified second and knocked off John Hall, Angie Smith and Ryan Oehler. He’ll head to Pomona with a 55-point lead over Herrera, looking to clinch his second straight world championship.
