Comp racer Doug Doll Jr. completed the perfect season with a strong performance in Charlotte, where he was the No. 1 qualifier and used a combination of solid driving and the strong horsepower from Charlie Greco’s dragster to get past Jim Kimbrough, Patrick Ross, Joe Carnasciale, and, in the final, Van Puckett, whom Doll bested, (-.432) 7.43 to (-.449) 8.64.
