POMONA, Calif. -- A season of record-setting excitement will come to a dramatic conclusion at the Auto Club NHRA Finals, Nov. 10-13, at historic Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, Calif., the birthplace of NHRA Drag Racing.

Antron Brown won the Top Fuel Championship in Las Vegas. The remaining three pro classes in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series - Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle - will crown the 2016 World Champions in a last-race showdown to cap a spectacular season of on-track performances for the fastest motorsport on the planet.

Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel), Del Worsham (Funny Car), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were last year's winners of the season-ending event.

Langdon currently sits fifth in points trailing teammate and recently crowned Top Fuel champion Antron Brown by 216 points. Brown won back-to-back titles in Top Fuel and his third championship overall in Las Vagas.

Hagan cut his points deficit to 88 and is third behind teammates Ron Capps and Tommy Johnson Jr. after winning the most recent event in Dallas. Capps, a four-time runner-up in Funny Car, leads the standings and could finally win that elusive title, ending his streak as the winningest driver in NHRA history to never win a championship.

Two former Pro Stock champions, Greg Anderson and Jason Line, are in a tight points battle to see which man will win another crown. In Pro Stock Motorcycle, at least four riders still have a shot at the title, including three former NHRA champions - Eddie Krawiec, Andrew Hines and Angelle Sampey.

Along with the exciting on-track action, the Auto Club NHRA Finals is the completion of the full-year celebration of 50 years of Funny Car. NHRA's Hot Rod Junction will have displays of current Funny Cars along with legendary cacklefest cars, NHRA Heritage Champions, Jr. Dragsters and the coolest hot rods in Southern California.

Kids 12 & under can see it all for free with a general admission ticket, while all students can save 50 percent on general admission at the gate with a student ID.

Tickets in an exclusive tower suite are available for purchase Friday through Sunday where fans will meet current Funny Car stars who will sign autographs in the suite each day. The suite ticket includes food & non-alcoholic beverages.

Pre-race activities on Sunday, Nov. 13, include a morning track walk and driver introductions where fans can see all the stars up close. NHRA also will have a skydiver drop on the track before the first of four elimination rounds to determine the champions. After the race, fans can join the Winners' Circle when the championship drivers are interviewed live on FOX Sports 1.

NHRA events also have the most interactive midway in motorsports with the Nitro Alley, which includes simulators, manufacturer displays, driver autograph sessions a concessions stands with food and drink options for everyone.
