- Doug Kalitta raced to his second consecutive Top Fuel victory of the season Sunday at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.
Kalitta powered his Mac Tools dragster to a 3.801-second pass at 323.19 mph to defeat Kalitta Motorsports teammate J.R. Todd’s 3.780 at 320.66 in his SealMaster dragster on a holeshot in the final round. Kalitta tallied his 40th career victory and third at Atlanta Dragway. The margin of victory between Kalitta and Todd was .0000, making it the closest Top Fuel race in NHRA history. It was the first time since 2006 that two Kalitta Motorsports Top Fuel cars decided a final. Kalitta sprinted past Terry Haddock, eight-time world champ Tony Schumacher and reigning world champ Antron Brown in the earlier rounds.

I love hearing replays of the finish while they show pictures of celebrating instead of the actual finish on the screen...
did i really just watch this 5 minute video of the closest race… and didn’t even see how close it was…
That's called bad in-house production values. Where's the photo-finish?

1:40
0,25 speed and pause
No shit!
How the hell you going to have "closest final in NHRA" in the title, then not show a photo finish of said close finish?
this sucks. Does not show the finish line! Isnt that the whole point? Waste of three minutes.
Jim Garrison it’s only a waste of one minute and 40 seconds so quit your whining
Exactly wtf
Makes me highly suspicious of the final. We need a better look. what are they trying to hide? Post Trump/Bribem election.
That was awesome no matter what I've never seen that happen very impressive all the way around
And so we see grown men wrestling and groping each other on the ground..... but no photo finish. Is that the best way to illustrate the closest finish in history? Bring back ESPN.
Carl Senden Dave Reiff is HORRIBLE!!!!
Groping??🤣🤣
Someone forgot to switch over to the replay/photo finish feeds.. You can hear the audio of the replays but no video.. simply lack of attention to detail.. Amazing race either way!
NHRA is doing clickbait!!!!!!!!
Tony Pedregon called it: It was the best race of the day.
No photo-finish???
Talk about equally exactly tuned cars.. holy shit..
Hahahahaha!!! No slomo finish? Not even a pic? Oh well. At least they showed enough of that massive bromance going on at the start line. 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭
It's called a mosh pit.
That.
Was.
CLASSIC.
And a BIG tip o' the hat to Doug Kalitta!
I met Doug & Shirley years ago . They were at U.S 66 in Joliet IL very nice people.
Hmmm......wonder if there was an E.T. & top speed? Guess we're not supposed to know.
That was a really cool photo finish. Oh wait... it was the teams hugging and the camera adjusting.

I finally got to these the top fuel dragsters this year and it was amazing can’t wait to go back
That crew all get bonus checks when this happens, and btw they have one heck of a cook that travels with them, spoiled rotten ! I know from just doing some work on the Kalitta gear. Doug is very soft spoken and a kind person that likes to kick ass!
Scotty would be proud RIP Scott Kalitta
That's respect from both teams and that what it's all about
Hahaha you can hear the playback but they didn't switch the footage.
I was there it was freaking amazing to watch
Well nice fucking replay...
Flagged this as misleading content.
Just because master feed is different than TV feed doesn't mean you can't skip showing replay.
Tribute To Scott
What the hell dude. Where's the money shot
LOVE the camaraderie between these guys 🤘
Where is the photo finish? How about the reaction times, ETs and speeds.
It was noted Doug left 21 thousandth sooner and JR ran 21 thousandth faster for a 'dead even finish'.
But Doug crossed the line first....
It was noted that NHRA computers go a bit further in digits than the pylon can show.
So, while the commentators are talking a dead even finish; it really was not.
And they don't give the actual time difference in this closest finish ever.
Or the photo; but as many have mentioned, plenty video of men rolling around on the ground...smh....
Do it for Scott!
Such excitement over driving in a straight line.
This is insane
There should be a special prize when it's too close like that. Both drivers, both victory.
Wow I've never seen that happen
This bait has more footage of the Bros. frolicking with themselves than the dragsters! Cars awesome! Video not!
My friend grandpa won 3 world championship s there
They are both Team Kalitta but Doug knows how to drive that beast

Just google the photo finish. It is nice and clear.
Pause the video at 1:40 and use the , and . keys to change frames so you can see the finish.
Did Reiff dub that margin of victory in after the fact? Why isn't Tony Pedregon saying anything when that amazing race finished?? Does he ever get excited? Your broadcast crew is DULL! There is nothing about the announcing in this that translates to how exciting this race actually was. Show some passion, NHRA!!!
Tony is secretly a terminator, therefore he has no emotions.
I really liked the part where we saw the photo finish replay/photo like the one that was shown in the thumbnail..............
Yeah don't cut off the interview or anything!! A legendary race like this and you don't show the interview!! Come on!!
Right on Kalitta.
Why didn't they show the photo finish?
I would have though something like NHRA wouldnt need to clickbait
WOW !! 😮
Wow - that's so fast for 1000 feet.
JUST in case no one else has mentioned it, WHERE'S THE FUCKING SLOW MO REPLAY?????????
Toyota? These are Toyota powered? WTF ?
grabir01 You must be incredibly moronic to know realize how modified these engines are. News flash, any engine can preform well from any maker when its designed in-house for racing
What a moronic thing to say... wow !!
Why Not. 2jz is one of the best engines ever
@@JackTheripper911 pretty sure theyre using hemis
They're all dodge
What season was that I want to watch? SOMEONE CAN TELL ME PLEASE
One word, photo finish,where's da photo finish !!!
Why do these fucking series even exist ? I can understand indycar I can understand F1 but this shit why just why how the hell is it helping in road car development ?
Uhhh where did this desk come from Doug?
Where's the finish shot
to the guy that said 0-60 in like 2 seconds..try 0-100 in less than 3/4ths of a second and about 220 mph in 2 seconds
I've been there
WTAF?!?!!? Thumbs down on this video.... “LOOK AT THAT PHOTO FINISH!!!!” Then the video ends without showing the photo finish!!!
WOW!!!!!
the original broadcast did
To Bad the NHRA decided to make a quick buck and sell this into warehouses. Such a shame. But that's what happens when you let a corporation ans shareholders control everything.
that was a close race
It's like 1 to 3 inches over the finish line at .0002 sec

omg 0-60 in like 2 seconds😮😮😮⛽🚘🚀
0-60 takes 0.75 sec lol
JG 3
More like 250
Hope the production crew was fired.
How does 3.8 beat 3.7
Hollywood.😀
1000" racing still sucks
Beat by abt 2 ft...very close
who win？ I don't no
Hey NHRA, how about either selling the Atlanta track to someone who cares about the sport or fix this shithole up! People, this is my “local” track and I have pictures of 3 concessions buildings that have the roof rotted and wide gaping holes that are extremely visible to the public! This is absolutely a disgrace to us who call this our home! If you want to sell it then contact me and I will put an investor group together and make Atlanta Dragway Great Again!!!!!!!!!!!!
nhra really needs to do better production, this is very poor
Are you suposed to go off on red or green? If its red they had a slow start. If its green they jump started.
+Diego Cargnin It the light is red, it means the driver false started and its disqualified. If the light is green, it means go.
+Diego Cargnin
To expand on Jared's comment, also if you happen to be the driver see the light go green and your car is not already moving, you are screwed.
No, you are fired. :)
well then they are both disquallified. If you put at 0.25 speed 1.36 you can see the cars spining tyres with red light. But as mjs28s said its common for the car to be already moving on green
They leave on yellow. But the time it takes for car to actually start moving is accounted into that. The starting line beams are about a foot apart say they can move a little with out starting the clock. The tire will wrinkle and the rim turns before the outside of the tire by about 10%. All that time is accounted for by the drivers. The reason a food leaver will is hard to bear.
So, it's more important for commentators to YAP incessantly than to SHOW the RESULTS. What stupidity & selfishness.
Total bullshit---where the final!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not worth watching no replay or slow-mo replay. Sucks
The NHRA is turning into a joke. Run a 1/4 mile or cancel the sport.
Wwaw
What a complete joke this was. Give me back 3 mins of my life please.
WTF
My tesla could probably beat it in Ludacris mode. Put on some slicks and it might even be in the 2's.
My Toyota celica is better
If I neutral drop my trailblazer I think I'll get ya
Unfollow this bait and switch now. Don't waste your time.
Good race. Still, the gayness in modern day drag racing is a bit disturbing.
Stupid American sports. Can’t even see who wins after all that.
What is up with nhra? No photo glad I don't subcribe!
This is a horrible video!!!
