While most drivers already have their finger placed squarely on the
panic button, or at least darn close to it, that isn’t really the case for Pete Berner.
In fact, Berner actually prefers to be in the position of the hunter instead of the hunted, especially this late in the season.
After all, this is all very familiar territory for the two-time IHRA World Pro Stock Champion.
“The last two championships I won were by narrow margins and when I
came in second the year before last it was also by a matter of just a
few points,” Berner noted. “They know as well as I do that I am going
to put as much pressure on them as possible. If they are going to win
the championship they are going to have to earn it.
“I don’t give up until the very end.”
