The NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series picked up from where it left off in April at Virginia Motorsports Park, after mother nature forced the event to be moved to this past weekend. Rich McPhillips and Kris Hool reeled in final round victories to close out the divisional event.
McPhillips, Phoenixville, Pa., hit a great light (.008 second reaction time) powering his way down the strip for the win light leaving Dan Mercier, Saint-Michel, Quebec, behind him in the Top Alcohol Dragster final round. McPhillips crossed the finish line at 5.318 seconds, 276.63 mph, Mercier, had problems and slowed to a 12.679 seconds, 68.76 mph.
