Plenty of memories from historic Topeka on final day that includes long rain delay.
Notes from around the paddock at the 34th and final NHRA appearance in the Kansas capital of Topeka. The stop for the NHRA featured lengthy rain delays on Sunday.Top Fuel dragster points leader Justin Ashley, Funny Car veteran Bob Tasca and five-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders won at the Menards NHRA Nationals late Sunday.
Justin Ashley retained the points lead he and Steve Torrence have been trading all season long, as Torrence lost in the quarterfinals Sunday. The Capco Contractors Toyota Dragster driver said that in winning five of the first six Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenges, “Justin had built a bit of a lead, but we’re cutting that down. Those Mission points are going to be crucial. I won a championship by just three points . It’ll be a big deal at the end.”
With the way the car has been performing lately, he said, it “gives me a lot of confidence and makes me feel excited about the rest of the year. we’re getting’ closer. Consistency wins championships and that, along with being quick, is what we pride ourselves in. We’re going to do the best we can to keep this up. We're building the steam, building the momentum, at the right time. And that Capco train is coming.
“But the biggest compliment I got was Smoke saying, ‘I was following you, and I stopped driving my car. I was impressed with what you were doing in your car in front of me.’ And hearing that from the best dirt-track racer probably of all time, that's a huge compliment,” he said. • In 1990, reigning Top Fuel champion Gary Ormsby was the first in NHRA history to eclipse the 4.9-second and 295 mph marks at Heartland Park.
