NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The Top Sportsman presented by Racing RVs class produced a first-time national event winner after Bud Preuss turned on the win light in the final round. Preuss won the final round after opponent Jeff Gillette fouled by .005-second. Even if Gillette hadn’t red-lighted, it might not have mattered because Preuss was perfect off the starting line with a .000 reaction time.
