What a weekend!
We’ve been having so much fun out at the racetrack that we completely forgot tomorrow is Monday again! If we could have drag racing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we would totally do it! I mean, come on, the thrill and excitement that comes from seeing your favorite race car drivers take home the coveted prizes is priceless!

Here are some of the highlights:
– This weekend’s race marked Del Worsham’s second victory NHRA world championship title and his first in Funny Car.

– Langdon earned his second Top Fuel win of the season, sweeping both Wallys at this track for the second time in his career.
– Krawiec closed the Pro Stock Motorcycle season with a victory and earned a second-place points finish when he defeated two-time champ Matt Smith in the final round.
– Johnson claimed his second win of the season and 26th of his career by holding off Vincent Nobile in the final round.
