POMONA, Calif. - 57th annual Circle K NHRA WinterNationals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

The planned 8:15 AM start time for Stock Eliminator was initially delayed due extensive track drying from last night's rain.

Cleanup had progressed well, with a few "weepers" on the top end, until about 10:00 AM. A brief, but intense weather cell passed through and dumped a lot more rain on the track. NHRA had to send all of cars in the lanes back to the pits.

Track drying has resumed, but we are still looking at an extensive delay. Cool temperatures, heavy overcast, and a very wet track made things difficult.
