 |
FORCE, WORSHAM, SKILLMAN AND HINES RACE TO WINNER’S CIRCLE AT LUCAS OIL NHRA NATIONALS
Brittany Force raced to victory in Top Fuel Sunday at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.
Del Worsham (Funny Car), Drew Skillman (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also victorious in their respective categories at the 17th event of 24 on the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule. This is the penultimate event of the regular season.
Force powered her Monster Energy dragster to a 4.169-second pass at 180.21 mph to outrun reigning world champion Antron Brown’s 6.566 at 103.47 in his Matco Tools dragster. Brown rattled and lost traction early while Force’s dragster backfired and released the parachutes just a little farther down track than Brown and she coasted to the finish line in front.
Force claimed the third win of her career and her third in four final rounds in the 2016 season. She raced to her first career victory earlier this year at Gainesville, Fla., then became the first female to win in Nitro at the Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, N.C. Force outlasted Terry Haddock, three-time 2016 winner Doug Kalitta and two-time 2016 winner Shawn Langdon in the earlier rounds before defeating Brown in the final.
“It’s awesome to be able to win here,” said Force, who is fourth in the Top Fuel points standings. “I felt good coming in this weekend because we had some success last year and I’m pretty sure we did well the year before. We are exactly where we want to be as we go into the Countdown and our biggest race of the season in Indy. It feels so good to bring home another win.”
Brown, the 2011 Brainerd winner, sprinted past Chris Karamesines, Clay Millican and eight-time world champion Tony Schumacher en route to his eighth final round of the season. The points leader has four wins so far this year and has clinched his spot in the Countdown to the Championship.
2014 top rookie Richie Crampton, from Adelaide, South Australia, secured his spot in the Countdown with a second round appearance.
In Funny Car, reigning world champ Worsham pushed his DHL Toyota Camry to a 3.908 at 327.27 to outrun Matt Hagan’s 8.095 at 71.33 after Hagan smoked the tires in his Mopar / Rocky Boots Dodge Charger R/T.
“I’m very excited,” said Worsham, who moved to third in the points standings with the win. “I came in here with a lot of confidence, thinking we were going to do well and Friday came around and we couldn’t have made any better runs. Along came Saturday and we smoked the tires. We had to take a little step back today, but they put it together. Brainerd has always been a special place to me. Going back to 1991, my first No. 1 qualifier came here 25 years ago. I’m excited to be here. It’s a great place, great facility and the team did a great job. I’m happy to get the win, go to Indy and start the NHRA Mello Yello Series Countdown.”
Worsham, who won the world championship last season without a regular season win, tallied his first victory of 2016, 39th of his career and 31st of his Funny Car career. This was his first final round appearance at Brainerd. He outlasted Bob Bode, Tim Wilkerson, who clinched a spot in the playoff, and Courtney Force before beating Hagan in the final round.
Hagan, who has two wins in four final rounds this year, qualified No. 1 with a world record elapsed time pass of 3.822. The two-time Funny Car world champion sprinted past John Bojec, Robert Hight and five-time 2016 winner Ron Capps before falling to Worsham.
Capps, pilot of the NAPA Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car, secured his spot as the No. 1 seed in the Countdown to the Championship playoff after his semifinal round apperance.
Drew Skillman earned his first Pro Stock victory of the year and second of his career by posting a 6.648 at 208.97 in his Chevy Camaro to better seven-time 2016 event winner Jason Line’s 6.681 at 206.64 in his Ray Skillman Auto Group Chevy Camaro. Skillman, the 2015 Rookie of the Year, won his first race since last year in St. Louis and clinched a spot in the Countdown after beating Dave River in the first round. Skillman also outran Bo Butner and No. 1 qualifier Vincent Nobile before racing Line in the final.
“When I heard the rule changes, I thought we were going to be on top or on the bottom,” said Skillman, who is sixth in points. “We were on the latter of that situation. My guys have been working very hard and this is for their hard work today. (The class) is getting much, much closer. I think by the end of the season we’ll be very tight and next year I think you will see a very competitive class across the board.”
Line, a two-time Pro Stock world champion, raced past Alan Prusiensky, Chris McGaha and two-time and reigning world champ Erica Enders in the earlier rounds. With the runner-up finish, Line maintained control of the points lead.
Andrew Hines posted a perfect .000 reaction time in the final round to defeat alligator farmer Jerry Savoie in the Pro Stock Motorcycle final round. Hines’ 6.866 at 194.94 with the perfect reaction time on his Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson was enough for a holeshot victory against Savoie’s 6.863 at 194.88 on his White Alligator Racing Suzuki. This is Hines’ fourth win of the season, 46th of his career and third at Brainerd International Raceway. He rode past veteran Steve Johnson, Cory Reed and Hector Arana Jr. in the earlier rounds.
“I was definitely a little nervous because we came here with the intentions of preparing for the Countdown,” said Hines, the winningest Pro Stock Motorcycle racer in NHRA history. “We put brand new tires on the bike which turned out, in hindsight, to be a very bad decision because the track is so good here. We were battling with the tune up on Friday. We just pecked away at it all weekend. We took our chance at it in the final round, put an old tire back on it, and it went nice and straight. I was pressing it because I knew I needed an advantage over Jerry.”
Savoie, who has three runner-up finishes this season, rode past Scotty Pollacheck, No. 1 qualifier and Englishtown winner Angelle Sampey and Eddie Krawiec in the first three rounds.
The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series will continue in Indianapolis, Aug. 31-Sept.5, with the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway for the final race of the regular season.
HAGAN EARNS NO. 1 SPOT WITH WORLD RECORD PERFORMANCE; BROWN, NOBILE AND SAMPEY ALSO TOP QUALIFIERS AT BRAINERD
Two-time Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan rocketed to the No. 1 qualifier Saturday with a world record performance at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.
Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Vincent Nobile (Pro Stock) and Angelle Sampey (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were No. 1 qualifiers in their respective categories at the 17th event of 24 on the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule. This is the penultimate event of the regular season.
Hagan blistered the track in his Mopar Express Lane / Rocky Boots Dodge Charger R/T with a 3.822-second pass at 333.82 mph to set the elapsed time world record and claim his third No. 1 spot of the season and 24th of his career. Hagan won back-to-back events earlier this year in Atlanta and Topeka, Kan., and has already clinched his spot in the Countdown to the Championship. He has never won at Brainerd but will put forth his best effort as he opens Sunday’s 11 a.m. eliminations against John Bojec.
“I have (crew chief) Dickie Venables in my corner and that guy is so bright and so brilliant,” said Hagan, who qualified No. 1 at Brainerd once before in 2011. “He said, ‘Hey kid, it’s going to go really fast or nowhere at all.’ It’s cool to know that you can hang on to a racecar that does that and has the capability to do that. Dickie is smart enough to make it all work. It really comes down to my guys, so when I get to crawl into a racecar, it’s a blessing. We have potential to be out here in a championship hunt again this year. One step at a time.”
Reigning Funny Car world champion Del Worsham qualified second with a 3.856 at 326.71 in his DHL Toyota Camry. Worsham, who lost to the Ron Capps in the postponed Seattle Funny Car final round that took place during the third qualifying session earlier in the day. Capps recorded the 50th win of his career when he defeated Worsham with a pass of 4.014 at 322.42.
Tommy Johnson Jr. is in third with a 3.859 at 327.98 in his Make-A-Wish Foundation Dodge Charger R/T. He will go up against Dale Creasy Jr. Sunday morning. Jack Beckman is fourth and will race Cruz Pedregon while Capps is fifth and will battle John Hale.
Brown notched a 3.679 at 328.30 in his Matco Tools dragster to take the Top Fuel lead in the fourth and final qualifying session. He tallied his 46th career No. 1 qualifier and second of his season. This is his second Top Fuel No. 1 qualifier at Brainerd International Raceway. Brown has sprinted to four victories so far this season and won this event in 2011. He will go up against the ageless Chris Karamesines in the first round.
“My car went right down Broadway and it was ripping,” said reigning world champ Brown. “I felt the car up on the tire and it stayed on the tire and went right down the track nice, silk, streak and smooth. I’m so proud and stoked for my boys. Tomorrow is going to bring a whole new race day and we’re going in with a good foot forward but it is a brand new day. We have our work cut out for us.”
Earlier in the day, Brown defeated Steve Torrence in the delayed Seattle final round that took place in the third qualifying session with a run of 3.747 at 320.13. The victory was Brown’s fourth of the season in seven final round appearances. The victory extended his series points lead.
In second is two-time 2016 winner Shawn Langdon, who posted a 3.690 at 328.38 run in his Red Fuel / Sandvik Coromant dragster. Langdon, who clinched his spot in the Countdown to the Championship after his pass in the third qualifying session, will look to win the Brainerd event for the first time when he opens eliminations against Luigi Novelli.
Brittany Force, another two-time 2016 event winner, is third in her Monster Energy Dragster and is paired with Terry Haddock in the first round. Eight-time world champion Tony Schumacher is fourth in his U.S. Army dragster and will battle Scott Palmer Sunday morning while Torrence is fifth and Doug Kalitta is sixth.
In Pro Stock, Vincent Nobile powered his Mountain View Tire Chevy Camaro to his second consecutive No. 1 qualifier with a 6.597 at 209.17. This is the first time in his career he has gone No. 1 at back-to-back events. Nobile earned his sixth No. 1 of his career, second of the season and second at Brainerd.
“We made a pretty good run and as you can see, we took the No. 1 spot,” said Nobile, who clinched his spot in the Countdown with his category best performance. “I’m really proud of my guys. Two weekends (as No. 1) in a row – it’s incredible. I’ve never had such a good racecar. We’ve won races before but we have never been No. 1 like this. This is a pretty incredible feeling.”
Nobile raced to the final round as the No. 1 qualifier two weekends ago in Seattle at the Protect the Harvest NHRA Northwest Nationals presented by Lucas Oil before the event was postponed due to rain. The Seattle Pro Stock final round between Nobile and Aaron Strong will be decided at the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.
Points leader Jason Line drove his Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro to the No. 2 spot with a 6.606 at 208.68. Line won this event in 2014 and so far has seven victories this year. He will give his best against Alan Prusiensky in the opening round.
In third is Denver winner Allen Johnson, who pushed his Marathon Petroleum / J&J Racing Dodge Dart to a 6.613 at 208.59. He will battle Mark Hogan Sunday morning. In fourth is 2015 top rookie Drew Skillman and in sixth is Bo Butner, who is eager to hoist his first Wally.
Angelle Sampey rode her Star Racing / Precision Service Equipment Buell to the No. 1 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle with a 6.830 at 196.64 to claim the 47th No. 1 qualifier in her career, second No. 1 of the season and her second at Brainerd International Raceway. Sampey, the winningest female driver in NHRA history with 42, won earlier this season in Englishtown, N.J., to claim her first win since 2007. She will hope to ride to her first victory at Brainerd tomorrow as she opens eliminations against Angie Smith.
“We actually weren’t able to make a tune-up call on the last run,” “In the third round of qualifying, the bike took off and went to the right and I had to hang off the left side of it all the entire way down the racetrack. The wire that goes from the computer to the motorcycle broke and we weren’t able to do it, so we went with the exact tune up from the third session, but fortunately we went faster because I went straight this time and shifted on time. I’m so proud of my guys and they provide me with a really fast motorcycle and I’m the lucky one who gets to sit on the bike and have some fun.”
Reigning world champion Andrew Hines qualified second with a 6.852 at 194.24 on his Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson. Hines is a two-time Brainerd winner and has notched three victories in five final round appearances so far this season. He is paired with veteran Steve Johnson in the first round.
Hector Arana Jr. is in the No. 3 spot with a 6.855 at 193.82 on his Lucas Oil Buell. He will race Jim Underdahl in the first round. Recent Sonoma winner LE Tonglet is fourth and will go up against Karen Stoffer while Matt Smith is sixth and will battle Hector Arana Sr.

WORSHAM, SCHUMACHER, BUTNER AND SAMPEY RACE TO TOP QUALIFIERS FRIDAY AT BRAINERD
Reigning world champion Del Worsham powered to the top qualifying spot in Funny Car Friday at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.
Tony Schumacher (Top Fuel), Bo Butner (Pro Stock) and Angelle Sampey (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were qualifying leaders in their respective categories at the 17th event of 24 on the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule.
Worsham posted an elapsed time track record 3.856-second pass at 326.71 mph in his DHL Toyota Camry to take the lead through the first two sessions. If he stays No. 1 through the remaining two sessions on Saturday, he will tally his third consecutive top qualifier and fourth of the season. Worsham earned his first career No. 1 qualifier here in 1991 but has never won the event.
“We thought tonight we would run better than that and we just missed it,” said Worsham, who has clinched his spot in the Countdown to the Championship playoff. “The track is very good, the grip is very good and we just didn’t have quite enough horsepower. It kind of got the best of us out there but it was a great run. I thought we were going to run a 3.83, and putting down the kind of numbers we have been, everyone was looking for a little more.”
Points leader Ron Capps is qualified second with a 3.866 at 324.98 in his Napa Auto Parts Dodge Charger R/T. Capps is a five-time Brainerd winner.
Worsham and Capps will go head-to-head in the third qualifying session on Saturday to decide the Funny Car winner from the rain-delayed Protect the Harvest NHRA Northwest Nationals presented by Lucas Oil from two weeks ago in Seattle. FOX Sports 1 will cover the final round matchup in a special 30 minute broadcast that will feature both the Funny Car and Top Fuel eliminations from Seattle. The added telecast will air from 3 to 3:30 p.m. EST.
Qualified third is Mopar Express Lane / Rocky Boots Dodge Charger R/T pilot Matt Hagan with a 3.882 at a Brainerd Int’l Raceway track record 330.47. Tommy Johnson Jr. is fourth and Courtney Force, who made a quick recovery from a crash suffered in Seattle, is fifth.
Schumacher, an eight-time world champ, powered his U.S. Army dragster to the qualifying lead with a 3.712 at 323.50. Schumacher, the winningest Top Fuel driver in NHRA history and a three-time Brainerd winner, sprinted to his first No. 1 qualifier of the season two weeks ago at Seattle. He has 80 No. 1 qualifiers in his career and six at Brainerd.
“When I got out, I was really surprised,” said Schumacher. “We were too early in the pack. There were too many good cars behind us and I didn’t think it was going to stick. Some people came close. We probably pushed some over the limit, which is always good when you run early. I was surprised it stuck. We’re building and we’ve been building for eight or nine races. We are getting better and better.”
Steve Torrence is second in his Capco Contractors / Torrence Racing dragster with a 3.720 at 326.63. Torrence is having the best year of his career with two wins in four final rounds and eight No. 1 qualifiers. He is followed by two-time 2016 winner Shawn Langdon in third with a 3.723 at 323.58. Reigning world champ Antron Brown is fourth with a 3.749 at 321.58.
Torrence and Brown will also race in the third session to decide the Top Fuel title of the delayed Seattle event.
Pro Stock’s Bo Butner pushed his Jim Butner Auto Chevy Camaro to the top qualifying position with a 6.622 at 207.78. Butner, looking for the first win of his career, raced to the only two No. 1 qualifiers of his career earlier this year at Phoenix and Sonoma, Calif. He has raced to four runner-up finishes in 2016 and has secured his spot in the Countdown.
“I think it’s definitely important (to get a jump on the competition), especially with the forecast,” Butner said. “We were conservative first round. I had a great car out west and in Seattle and we still have a good car. It’s always good to be at the top on day one. We don’t know what the weather will do but I like starting No. 1.”
Denver runner-up and Seattle finalist Vincent Nobile is second in his Mountain View Tire Chevy Camaro with a 6.628 at 207.69. Nobile raced to the final round two weekends ago in Seattle before rain delayed the event. He will race Aaron Strong in Indianapolis for the Seattle title.
Drew Skillman, the 2015 top rookie, drove to the third spot with a 6.640 at 208.23 at the controls of his Ray Skillman Auto Group Chevy Camaro. In fourth is points leader Jason line and he is followed by Denver winner Allen Johnson. Three-time Brainerd winner Greg Anderson in sixth.
In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Louisiana’s Angelle Sampey leads qualifying with a 6.848 at 194.94 on her Star Racing / Precision Service Equipment Buell. Sampey, who won earlier this season in Englishtown, N.J., to claim her first win since 2007, was the No. 1 qualifier in Atlanta and has 46 in her career. She has clinched a spot in the Countdown and is the winningest female driver in NHRA history, yet she has never won at Brainerd.
“I’m not as happy as I should be with that .84 because my first-gear shifting was a little short again,” Sampey said. “I don’t know what’s going on with that. I’m struggling and need to hold out that gear a little bit longer. We have more in store and are hoping to pull it out of it. I don’t know what’s going to happen with the weather tomorrow but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we can hold on to No. 1. I’m really hoping we can get a win here for a couple of reasons: I’ve never won it and would love to do it, and I have a lot of friends and family hurting back home with the devastation from the floods. I think bringing home a Wally to them would probably lift their spirits and that would be the happiest I could be – to do that for them.”
LE Tonglet, who won the most recent Pro Stock Motorcycle event in Sonoma, is in the second spot with a 6.877 at 194.94 on his Nitro Fish Racing Suzuki. Tonglet won this event in 2011. In third is Hector Arana Jr., who navigated the track on his Lucas Oil Buell in 6.894 at 192.88. Matt Smith is fourth and Hector Arana Sr. is fifth. Jerry Savoie, who is currently eighth, clinched his spot in the Countdown to the Championship during the first round of qualifying.
Qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway will resume Saturday with sessions at 1 and 3:30 p.m. and will set the stage for Sunday’s 11 a.m. eliminations.
