Associated Press

MADISON, Ill. -- Doug Kalitta raced to his third Top Fuel victory of the season Sunday, beating first-time finalist Scott Weis in the NHRA Nationals at Gateway International Raceway.

Kalitta drove his Mac Tools dragster to a 4.602-second pass at 312.35 mph, while Weis finished in 4.805 at 298.27. Kalitta's 14th career victory moved him into second place in the season standings, 207 points behind Larry Dixon.

"The team did a great job giving me a competitive car that could adapt with the conditions throughout the day,'' Kalitta said. "I don't want to watch points, I just want to go rounds and go after the race wins.''

Del Worsham, Ron Krisher and Geno Scali also won their divisions in the $1.8 million event.

Worsham earned his second victory of the season and 13th career by taking the Funny Car win over John Force. Worsham went 4.884 at 313.00 to beat Force's 4.936 run at 314.09.

Krisher took the Pro Stock victory with a 6.843 pass at 201.64 for his first win of the season and fifth of his career. Krisher beat Allen Johnson's 6.840 at 201.73.

Scali claimed his second win of the season and third of his career. Scali rode to a 7.139 at 187.99 to beat GT Tonglet's 7.177 at 185.46.
