Final winners were crowned over the weekend for the postponed Burn Down at Sundown Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event from Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill., with Rick Brown leading the charge. The final rounds of competition were held at National Trail Raceway in conjunction with their Lucas Oil event.

Tidrick, Logansport, Ind., was out first on Joe Hessling, Toledo, Ohio, which proved to be the difference as Tidrick took the win. Fredrick, Burlington, Wis., took the win light immediately off the start when Mike Coughlin, Delaware, Ohio, went red by just .009 seconds at the start.

Forbes, Horse Cave, Ky., ran a perfect 8.900 on the 8.90 index to beat Philip Smida II, Canfield, Ohio, in Super Comp; Elrod, Lima, Ohio, and Rock Hass, Commerce Mich., were close at the start but Hass was just a bit too quick at the strip to give Elrod the Super Gas win; and McFall, Tipp City, Ohio, put a hole shot on Jason Satterly, Lawrenceburg, Ky., in Super Street for the win.
