NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Super Gas winner Todd Barton was respectable throughout eliminations behind the wheel of his ’55 Chevy, but he shone brightest in the final round, where he coupled a .010 reaction time with a 9.905 to freeze out Val Torres Sr., who broke out by a thousandth with a 9.899. For Barton, the win broke a national event dry spell that goes back to the 2004 season, when he won the Super Comp title at the spring Las Vegas race.
