NMRA/NMCA: Same Day Coverage of NMCA on Dragzine and NMRA on StangTV. Chris Rini notched yet another Pro Street victory on Sunday as the NMRA and NMCA series converged for the Nitto Tires All Star Nationals on Sunday. Rini used a great 6.06 to down a slowing Clint Hairston Jr. In the combined Pro Outlaw 10.5 eliminator, reigning champ Mike Murillo outlasted some stout competition and needed every bit of the 6.70 he ran in the final, as Eric Laferriere was right there with a game 6.73. In Super Street Outlaw, John Urist drove from the No. 1 qualifying position to another event title, running a 7.19 to Kenjo Kelley’s quicker but red-lighting 7.16. Jason Lee, the perennial favorite in Drag Radial, also powered his way to the title, ousting Dan Kroll in the final with a 7.96 as Kroll slowed. The Nostalgia Pro Street final was much the same, as Kevin Parent clocked a 7.33 while opponent Jeff Colletta had troubles and slowed.
NHRA: Event Recap on DRAGZINE. Four cars or two – nothing seems to phase Robert Hight and crew chief Jimmy Prock. Hight on Sunday collected his dominating fourth straight Funny Car victory when he beat boss John Force, Cruz Pedregon, and Ron Capps in the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals finale at the zMAX Dragway in Charlotte. Spencer Massey, who has been nearly as dominant as Hight, earned his third win on the young season in Top Fuel as his 3.80 outpaced Doug Kalitta and teammates Tony Schumacher and Antron Brown in the money round. And in Pro Stock, Greg Anderson, who won this event last season, made it back-to-back event titles in front of his home crowd when he downed Erica Enders, Vincent Nobile, and Summit Racing teammate Jason Line.
