The final day of qualifying for the NHRA New England Nationals was halted when rain moved into the area, but the spirits of Antron Brown (Top Fuel) and Chad Green (Funny Car) could not be dampened. Brown earned his long-awaited 50th low qualifier award, and Green locked into the first of his career.
The first day of qualifying at the NHRA New England Nationals was hot and muggy, creating quite the challenge for crew chiefs in the nitro categories. The threat of wet weather in the later hours bumped Friday’s single session up by several hours, and Leah Pruett (Top Fuel) and Chad Green (Funny Car) had the best-prepared cars to claim respective provisional No. 1 qualifier awards.
Top Fuel veteran Clay Millican powered to his first win in five years, claiming the victory over Josh Hart on Sunday in the final round of the Gerber Collision & Glass NHRA Route 66 Nationals presented by PEAK Performance at Route 66 Raceway.
It was a day of firsts as Justin Ashley, Ron Capps, and Gaige Herrera collected the victories in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge at Route 66 Raceway. Ashley became the first two-time Mission Challenge winner and Herrera its first Pro Stock Motorcycle winner.
