Driving his six-second Camaro, Glenn Butcher defeated Bill Yates to win the title in Top Sportsman presented by Racing RVs. The No. 5 qualifier in the quick field, Butcher drove to a 6.534 on his 6.51 dial in the final round to hold off Yates, who had a quicker light but missed his 6.65 dial with a 6.717. Butcher had a tough path to the final with competitive races against Kyle Dumke, Tommy Turner, 2017 JEGS Allstars champ Mark McDonald, and multitime national event winner Phil Unruh.
