LUCAS OIL NHRA NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Candida Benson
"What makes this so much fun was watching Kalitta lose in front of us and then having to race Bernstein. I can't tell you how many times this year I've watched Kalitta or Bernstein go out in front of us and lose and had to think about gaining points. It's much more relaxing when you can say it's over." – Tony Schumacher, after clinching the NHRA POWERade Top Fuel championship in Reading (page 12)

FUNNY CAR by Kevin McKenna
Three years into his fuel Funny Car career, Gary Scelzi takes tremendous pride in being able to do something he never had the opportunity to do when he raced in Top Fuel: beat John Force. Scelzi ran his career record to 8-5 against Force with an improbable final-round victory over the Castrol driver in Reading. (page 14)
