O'REILLY NHRA FALL NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Bruce Dillashaw
Shadowed by U.S. Army soldiers wearing chocolate-chip-style camouflage uniforms, U.S. Army-backed racer Tony Schumacher virtually locked up his second straight NHRA POWERade Top Fuel world championship with a final-round victory over Doug Herbert in Dallas. But Schumacher refused to bite the dessert cookie that he earned after a 21-race, nine-month-long meal.

FUNNY CAR by Steve Waldron
They had him down, but they couldn't knock him out. Now title contenders Gary Scelzi and Ron Capps are the ones on the ropes after being dealt a staggering blow by defending NHRA POWERade Funny Car world champion John Force at the O'Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec.
