Al-Anabi
Racing Top Fuel dragster, owned by Alan Johnson, to his fourth win of
the season in four final round appearances. Dixon has wins at
Gainesville, Topeka, Englishtown and now Norwalk, and stands second in
the points behind Tony Schumacher.
“Four win lights at the end of the day, that's what counts,” Dixon
said. “There were certain rounds that were not pretty but at the same
time we were the quickest car, so I am real thankful to get this win.”
Dixon path to the final round against Brandon Bernstein included what
looked like easy wins over Steve Chrisman, Clay Millican and Antron
Brown. Each time Dixon posted a solid run while his competition
struggled to get down the track. Bernstein did the same in the final
round, striking the tires before the 330-foot mark.
