Top Fuel’s top qualifier and runner-up Steve Torrence meant no disrespect to 51-time winner Doug Kalitta. Torrence's remarks about Kalitta’s playoff surge had everything to do with the NHRA Countdown to the Championship format he never has been fond of—and one he once again called “a crock of shit” Saturday at the Texas Motorplex during the NHRA Texas FallNationals weekend.“The guy’s won 10 rounds all year, and he’s just been hot in the Countdown. Doug’s a great driver and a great guy.
He definitely can go out and he can earn a championship, do the best that they do through the Countdown, and be the champion. But it puts a little blight on your record when you had such a terrible first three-quarters of the season and finish off strong,” he said.In his Friday night provisional No. 1 qualifier interview, Torrence said, “We’ve been the most consistent car across the board. We only won one race, but I don’t think we fell any lower than second or third throughout the year.
