WHEATCRAFT SCORES CRUCIAL 4.70 QUICK OUTLAWS WIN

Chris Wheatcraft wheeled his beautiful Mopar-powered Neon to the Verge Motorsports 4.70 Quick Outlaws win at Ohio’s Kil-Kare Dragway, but it was anything but easy for the veteran.  During the first three rounds, he overcame subpar reaction times by doing a masterful job at the finish line to advance.  The next three rounds saw him improve significantly, including a stellar .0173 in the final against red-lighting Jeremy Jensen in his 1963 Chevrolet Corvette.  Both competitors ran it out, 4.714 to 4.708 respectively.

Jensen defeated Chase Alderman in the semi-finals while Wheatcraft enjoyed the bye run after defeating Randy Griswold the previous round.

James Hayes in his blown 58 Corvette was the GPS  #1 qualifier with a perfect 4.700 elapsed time and .000 reaction time.

Randy Griswold won the long-distance award for his 627-mile tow from Phenix City, AL.

In bracket action, Chris Moore defeated Lyndsey Back in the 88 car gamblers race and Adam Trauth won over Mikey Sturgill in the 32 Car Shootout. 

The next event for the Quick Outlaws is scheduled for June 26 at Bristol (TN) Dragway. For more information visit Vergemotorsports.com
