With the tuning help of 17-time Top Alcohol Funny Car champ Frank Manzo and Pro Stock veteran Larry Morgan, Castellana clinched the title by winning the final event of the season, the NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas.
Justin Bond, JR Gray, and Jason Scruggs finished just behind Castellana in the balloting.
