Final eliminations for all NHRA Sportsman competitors in the NHRA Arizona Nationals will be completed Friday in conjunction with the Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event scheduled at Firebird Int'l Raceway Feb. 26-28. 

Competitors in the six classes being contested for the NHRA Arizona Nationals will have one time trial beginning at 8 a.m. and go straight into eliminations. The run Friday will count for qualifying toward the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event, and all cars entered in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event will be eligible to make the run Friday morning. All competitors in all classes for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will only have one run allotted Friday.
 
Stock and Super Stock eliminations for the NHRA Arizona Nationals will be random-paired for the first round and laddered for the second round based on furthest-under-the-index runs during first-round eliminations. Competitors in Top Dragster and Super Street had already been paired and will remain with those pairings as eliminations are already under way. The first round of Super Gas had already been completed, and laddered second-round pairings will be retained for the completion. 
 
In addition to the six classes being contested for NHRA Arizona Nationals eliminations, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Comp, Top Sportsman, and Sportsman Motorcycle competitors will have a single qualifying session Friday.  All 11 classes will receive two qualifying sessions Saturday, and Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series eliminations will be run in their entirety Sunday.
