NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Shawn Cowie, who was in the fight for his first world title until the final weeks of the season before Megan Meyer pulled away, earned his 10th Wally of the season after stopping Chris Demke in the Top Alcohol Dragster final round. Cowie, who earlier beat Jackie Fricke, James Stevens, and Casey Grisel to advance, won the final with a solid 5.275 run after Demke fouled by four-thousandths of a second and shut off. Julie Nataas was the low qualifier with a 5.138 but suffered a tough holeshot loss against Demke in the quarterfinals.
