Noteworthy:

• Last month, Matco Tools announced the nationwide rollout of the Eagle Experience, a dynamic mobile showroom tour designed to bring cutting-edge tool storage and diagnostic technology directly to technicians, technical education students, and motorsports fans across the country. Having launched this fall and continuing through 2026, the Eagle Experience will make stops at automotive repair centers, tech-ed campuses, and major events, including this weekend's NHRA Finals in Pomona, Calif., where Brown will sport a Matco Tools Eagle Experience wrap on his 12,000-horsepower dragster.

Fan Events:
• Saturday, 9:30 - 10 a.m., Team Toyota driver autograph session, Toyota midway display
• Brown will also be making various appearances at the Eagle Experience mobile showroom, located in the midway:
• Friday, 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
• Saturday, 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
• Sunday, 9:30 a.m.

Quotable:
"We had good success there at Pomona to end the season last year; won the race and the championship and we're looking to have another Sunday of going rounds. Conditions are looking cool, brisk, and is long as it doesn't rain, we're going to go for some AAA throw-down runs, and hopefully the fans will get to see some of the fastest times of the year this weekend. We've just got to keep our heads down, give it all we've got, and take it into the off-season on a high note so we can get ready and come out swinging in 2026."
