BARKLAGE CONQUERS THUNDER VALLEY TO MOVE TOWARDS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Cody
Barklage of Eldon, Missouri had it when it counted and made it through
three
tough rounds of racing to win the Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Challenge
during the
O'Reilly Super Chevy Show presented by JEGS at Bristol Dragway,
known as
Thunder Valley.
Cody took out Kernersville, NC racer Doug Winters in the
finals. Winters
did Cody a favor in the semis when he defeated Tony
"Sandman" Williams of
Millington, Tennessee. Williams is Cody's closest
rival in the championship
chase, followed by Cody's brother Zach Barklage,
who was the event's top
qualifier with a blistering 6.156 at 225.67 miles per
hour. Cody's 6.300 was
the second-fastest qualifying time and he also turned
in the fastest
Aeromotive Nitro Coupe pass with a run of 229.39 mph in the
