The top three finishers in the six-race playoffs will receive custom championship belts signed by the 2024 world champions. Fans will be able to fill out the complete competition brackets for Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle when qualifying concludes on Saturday evening. Brackets can be filled out until the first pair of Top Fuel dragsters fire up during the first round of eliminations at 10:30 a.m. ET.
“This season of Drag Race Bracket Bonanza has flown by, and we have had winners from around the world,” said Elon Werner, Drag Race Bracket Bonanza creator. “We improved the look and player experience and have seen record growth. This year’s Countdown Series will be even better with three championship belts on the line.”
Clay Millican, Austin Prock, Aaron Stanfield and Gaige Herrera all took home wins at the biggest drag race of the season and the fans playing Drag Race Bracket Bonanza were able pick brackets against U.S. Nationals legends Larry Dixon Jr., Ed “Ace” McCulloch, Warren “The Professor” Johnson and Angelle Sampey. DRBB also awarded one-of-a-kind The Majors trophies designed by metal artist Katie Buttera to the top five finishers who scored the most points for picks from the Gatornationals, Winternationals and U.S. Nationals.
“The Reading Nationals will also feature sponsorship from Laris Motorsports Insurance with more exciting announcements coming later in the Countdown,” said Werner. “The biggest improvement from last year to this year has been the look and feel of the website and our social media engagement both from the players and the racers. These final six races will be very competitive on and off the track. I appreciate every player that has filled out a bracket.”
