Austin Prock of John Force Racing set a record with a 3.791-second run at the PRO Superstar Shootout in Bradenton but lost to Ron Capps, who finished in 3.870 seconds. Prock's clutch issues in the final round led to a slower time of 4.003 seconds. Despite the loss, Prock expressed pride in his team's performance and noted the experience as valuable ahead of the NHRA Mission Foods Series starting in March. He highlighted the team's efforts, especially with new members in key positions. Jack Beckman reached the semifinals with the PEAK Antifreeze Chevy, while Brittany Force narrowly missed the final in her Monster Energy dragster. The event served as a preparation for the upcoming Gatornationals.
