NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Ray Drew made it to his first Top Alcohol Funny Car final and scored his first win after Sweden’s Ulf Leanders red-lighted. Drew was solidly in the 5.8s on race day in his wins against DJ Cox and Andy Bohl, and he also took out Chip Beverett in the semifinals, 5.566 to 5.583, in one of the best side-by-side races of the day. Leanders was the favorite going into the final after a 5.49 in the semi’s to take out low qualifier Sean Bellemeur, but his foul in the final negated another solid 5.49 effort.
