Winners crowned at NHRA JEGS SPORTSnationals at Beech Bend
Greg Schenck left first and never looked back in the Comp final in his H/EA ’32 Bantam as he drove to a (-.578) 8.882 for the win over Greg Kamplain, who recorded a (-.501) 6.939 as the NHRA JEGS SPORTSnationals raced to completion at Beech Bend Raceway Park.

Past Super Gas world champ Bob Locke jumped into his son, Ryan’s Super Street Camaro and prevailed in the final with a 10.899 to 10.886 double-breakout win against Tyler Wied.
Dane Ward won his first NHRA national event title in VP Fuel Top Dragster with a 6.137 on his 6.10 dial to hold off JB Strassweg, who trailed with a .02-over 6.24.
