CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT 2020 MARCH MEET

Another chapter closed on the coveted March Meet March 8 at Auto Club Famosa Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif. – and plenty of unforgettable memories were made.

Taking the Nostalgia Funny Car win was longtime NHRA nitro crew member Matt Bynum, who got to experience what winning feels like from inside the cockpit.

Bynum clocked a 5.617-second run at 250.13 mph to def. No. 16 qualifier Matt Melendez’s 5.749-second lap at 224.73 mph in the finals at win his inaugural March Meet championship.

“It is pretty cool,” Bynum said. “I still can’t believe it. We came here and we just ran really well all week.”

While Bynum was celebrating a March Meet win for the first time, Nostalgia Top Fuel driver Pete Wittenberg won his second title Sunday.

Wittenberg qualified No. 1 and then raced past the competition in three consecutive rounds to capture the prestigious title.

“It is pretty emotional,” Wittenberg said. “We’ve won this twice and I’m still beside myself that we won it once. It is unbelievable. It has been a long haul from the first one and this one. We’ve overcome a lot of stuff.”

In the finals, Wittenberg clocked a 5.678-second run at 251.49 mph to edge Tyler Hilton’s 5.927-second elapsed time at 229.20 mph.

Ron Capps, the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Series nitro Funny Car champion, checked a box off his career resume by winning the March Meet for the first time.
Capps drove the “Good News” 1948 Fiat Topolino AA Fuel Altered owned by Hertzig Motorsports and tuned by Bryan Hall to the title.

Capps beat Robert Winefsky in the finals. Capps clocked a 6.00-second run at 158.93 mph to get past Winefsky’s 6.00-second run at 120.91 mph.

Other winners were Billy McDevitt (nitro Pro Comp), Drew Austin (A/Fuel and Jr./Fuel and 7.0 Pro); Brian Rogers (A/Gas), Brent Handley (B/Gas) and Trey Sommors (C/Gas) and DeAndre Fitzgerald (D/Gas), Lloyd Harder (Nostaglia Eliminator 1), and Terry Lindblad (Nostalgia Eliminator 2).
