O'REILLY NHRA THUNDER VALLEY NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

FUNNY CAR by Steve Waldron
"Rusty Wallace told me I was a weak dog and that I needed to just go out there and win, just get it done. He did it a few weeks ago in Martinsville, and now I finally got my 110th, so I guess we both still have some left in the tank." – John Force after snapping a seven-race winless streak with his 110th career victory in Bristol (page 16)

PRO STOCK by John Jodauga
"They've got no one to blame but themselves if they didn't run as well as we did this weekend." – A dominant and unapologetic Greg Anderson on the rest of the Pro Stock field. (page 18)
