TOP FUEL WINNER - TONY SCHUMACHER
NHRA POWERade Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher pushed his weekend take to $590,000 with a big win Sunday at the fifth annual ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals.
The multiple championship-winning tuner, Blaine Johnson dialed in the weekend's best pass, a 4.486, to allow Schumacher to win going away. Grubnic's 4.587 at 324.28 mph was more than a car length behind. (View Video Here)
FUNNY CAR WINNER -- RON CAPPS
Capps' win over Scelzi moved him to within two points of the championship lead, which is once again held by Scelzi. Proving they don't play favorites at DSR, Scelzi blistered Capps at the Tree with a .042- to .071-second starting line advantage only to watch his teammate inch by at the top end for a thrilling one-hundredth of a second win.

PRO STOCK BIKE WINNER -- CHIP ELLIS
Ellis successfully defended his title of the October race in Las Vegas with a repeat of last year's victory over Angelle Sampey. This time Sampey gave it up at the start when she jumped the Christmas Tree by five-thousandths of a second and was disqualified. It would have been a good race as Ellis outran the three-time champion by just one hundredth of a second, 7.243 to 7.253. (View Video Here) |
