FYI...
Although he's listed as a Pro Stock Motorcycle entrant to the NHRA Las Vegas Nationals, Chase Van Sant had recent skin graft surgery for a knee injury and will miss the remaining two events of the 2023 season.

* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 6 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.
* 3 different Pro Stock drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The earliest possibility of head-to-head matchup in the semi-final round of eliminations if both drivers survive the earlier rounds.
* 4 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The earliest possibility of head-to-head matchup in the semi-final round of eliminations if both drivers survive the earlier rounds.
Good luck all!
