NHRA: Race Recap from Denver. Allen Johnson solidified his place as king of “Thunder Mountain” on Sunday, earning his fourth win in five years and advancing to his seventh straight final round in Pro Stock at the Mile-High Nationals at the Bandimere Speedway. Johnson downed fellow Mopar runner and local resident V. Gaines in the final round. Spencer Massey claimed his third victory of the season in Top Fuel, defeating Bob Vandergriff in the final, 3.97 to 4.02. In Funny Car, Cruz Pedregon raced to his third victory of the season, as well, knocking off Bob Tasca in the final round with a 4.23. And in perhaps one of the best stories of the season, Shawn Gann ended a long nine-year winless streak in Pro Stock Motorcycle as he defeated Hector Arana Jr. in the final round at the site of his last win, in 2004.
