NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Damon Bustamante corralled his first career national event win, driving his ’57 Corvette roadster to victory over Edwin Olpin. Bustamante controlled the race from the onset with a near-perfect .001 reaction time then eased to a 10.074 victory that he dedicated to his late grandfather. Olpin, whose father, Ed Sr., won the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com in this car earlier this season, ran closer to the index with a 10.059 but couldn’t overcome Bustamante’s holeshot.
