SEARS CRAFTSMAN NHRA NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Kevin McKenna
Brandon Bernstein's victory in Madison should long be remembered for the masterful job by crew chief Tim Richards of pulling the Bud team out of a deep hole. Not qualified after two tire-smoking shutoff passes Friday, Richards, his wife Kim, and their crew steadily picked away at their combination until they struck the right chord. (page 14)

FUNNY CAR by Todd Veney
For the first time in two and a half years and just the second time in 74 races, Ron Capps finally won. "I knew it was coming," he said. "I feel like a lucky jockey - I have a great horse to ride. You can't win on a mule." (page 16)
