Neither the elements or the competitors were any match for Larry Dixon at the 41st annual NHRA SuperNationals.

The veteran Top Fuel driver won his second race in a row by defeating Antron Brown in the finals Monday morning at the rain-delayed event in Englishtown, N.J.

Dixon clocked a 3.824-second time in his Al-Anabi Racing dragster to zip past a tire-smoking Antron Brown who slowed to 6.314 seconds at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

On the strength of a stellar reaction time, .027 to Del Worsham's .104, Bob Tasca, III piloted his Fordparts.com Shelby Mustang to the third win of his short Funny Car career, his first in 2010. It is also the first win for the team since Bob lost his grandfather, Bob Tasca, Sr. during the off-season.

“It's hard to even put words together right now,” said a very tearful Tasca. “This is a special place for my family and for my grandfather. These are the moments you dream about when you are a kid laying in bed and watching Force win and Pedregon win.

The Tasca name has long been associated with Ford and racing. Bob is a third generation Tasca carrying the Ford nameplate to the starting line. It was Tasca's grandfather who coined the phrase, “win on Sunday sell on Monday”.

Larry Dixon raced to his sixth Top Fuel victory of the season Monday afternoon at the rain-delayed NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

Bob Tasca, Mike Edwards and Michael Phillips also were winners at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event.

Dixon posted a performance of 3.824 seconds at 320.05 mph in his Al-Anabi Racing dragster to take his 54th career victory by defeating Antron Brown, who finished runner-up at this event for the second straight time as his Matco Tools dragster lost traction near mid-track.

A long weekend came to a perfect ending for Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Michael Phillips.

Phillips, who earned his first career No. 1 qualifying spot in 15 years of competing in the Pro Stock Motorcycle class, ran the table from the pole position beating Steve Johnson in the finals on a hole shot Monday morning in the rain-delayed NHRA SuperNationals.

Phillips clocked a 6.911-second time at 194.32 mph, while Johnson came in with a career-best 6.886-second effort at 194.63 mph at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. Phillips won the race at the starting line with a .012 light, compared to a .057 launch for Johnson.

Every time it looks like Mike Edwards is about to be caught by the competition, he pulls another rabbit out of the hat.

Edwards worked his way through the competition in the rain-delayed NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ to collect his seventh win of the 2010 Pro Stock season.

In the final round, against Shane Gray, Edwards posted a solid performance from the tree to the finish line. Edwards was first off the line, .012 to Gray's .058, and fastest down quarter mile, 6.596 seconds at 209.39 mph.

If Bunny Burkett has learned one valuable lesson throughout her 45-year drag racing career, it’s how to make the most of a tough situation.

Soon, Burkett will unveil a new drag racing vehicle aimed at bringing inspiration and awareness to those in a tough position in life. She’s using the one vehicle she knows best to drive her point home.

Burkett will throw her hat in the ring as one of the many veteran drag racers headed back in time to the Nostalgia Funny Car ranks. She will debut the “Cotton Candy Corvette”, her latest weapon in the fight against breast cancer. The planned debut will be at Maryland International Raceway’s “Legends of the Creek” event scheduled for June 25-27.

The stage doesn’t get any bigger than Indy when it comes to motorsports. For the country’s elite vintage drag racing teams, the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals at O’Reilly Raceway Park is their one chance per year to say they too won Indy.

Per tradition, the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals fills every inch but the paved oval on O’Reilly Raceway Park’s expansive property. It’s wall to wall chrome, flames, nitro fumes and candy paint. With 10 eliminator classes and exhibitions by the Geezer Gasser’s and Nostalgia Super Stockers, this year’s event kept the drag strip busy all day.

The Nostalgia Top Fuel field was the largest it’s ever been here in Indy with 12 fire breathing front motored monsters doing battle for a precious spot in the 8 car field. Paced by Denver Schutz’ 5.857, the field featured a mix of California cars, Midwest cars and the New York based “Nitrodiction” entry of Jim Didio, driven by 2-time Goodguys Indy winner Howard Haight.
