ET on Saturday at the NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway.ĮPPING, N.H. Glenn’s KB Racing teammate, Kyle Koretsky, is right behind in second after going 6.544 at 209.95, while Aaron Stanfield, who has a pair of wins this year, is nearly as close in third with his 6.545 at 211.00. But with the field bunched up as tight as it is, you can see that the other teams have been working, too.” Our ultimate goal for this team is one, two, and three, so that’s what I’d like to see. 1 spot and see Greg get down the track and make a good, solid run. The run felt nice and smooth, it felt natural, and I’m just glad I didn’t make any mistakes on my part. I’m sure the crew chiefs probably feel like there’s more left in it, but to come out and put a nice solid lap down definitely shows we were working hard these past few weeks and that we’ve kind of stayed in the groove,” Glenn said We didn’t have too much rust to shake off.
1 qualifier, as well as his second victory this season. Racing for just the second time in Epping in his career, Glenn is after his second career No.
#FIRE BALL RUN PRO#
With Pro Stock making its first appearance since late April, it was Glenn who made the biggest impression on Friday. 1 qualifier of year, going 6.543 at 209.33 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro. Glenn, the reigning NHRA Rookie of the Year, closed in on his first No. Tim Wilkerson is right behind in fourth after going 3.966 at 320.66. If you get another day like today, you better put your mouthpiece in and hang on.”īlake Alexander claimed the second spot thanks to a solid run of 3.911 at 325.22, while Jim Campbell’s career-best pass of 3.965 at 315.64 has him third after the opening run. I think we’ll have to step up (on Saturday). They go for the jugular, and they seem to hit it a lot. A lot of crew chiefs underestimated it, but one thing about this team is they don’t underestimate anything.
#FIRE BALL RUN FULL#
You see guys out there shaking the tires, smoking it, not making full pulls because the track is so good. The guy is just a mastermind, and I’m just trying to do a good job driving it. “Having (crew chief) Dickie Venables under the hood is a godsend. “This Power Brokers Dodge is exciting to drive all the time,” Hagan said. Hagan won three straight years in Epping before his streak was snapped last year, and his bid for a third victory in 2022 for the first-year Tony Stewart Racing team took a good step on Friday.
1 qualifier as he looks for his fourth career win at New England Dragway. If it holds, it will also give Hagan his 46th career No. Hagan’s knack for delivering a big run on Friday this year continued, helping him close in on his second straight No. Points leader Hagan continued to put together spectacular runs in Funny Car, delivering an impressive blast of 3.878 at 332.51 in his 11,000-horsepower Dodge Power Brokers Charger SRT Hellcat. Mike Salinas, who has two wins in 2022, is third with a run of 3.705 at 328.06.
That’s what we needed to do, and it came at the perfect time.”įorce finished in the second spot with the only other run in the 3.60s on Friday, going 3.687 at 329.50. That’s a confidence booster for myself and for every one of the guys. I’m not going to say that we’re there yet, but we’re definitely a step in the right direction. You have to tear stuff down to build it back up stronger and that’s where we’re at. “(I) couldn’t be happier for every one of these guys on the team because it’s so much hard work and this is like seven or eight races now without us winning one and it’s all a sacrifice you have to make. “There was so much emotion behind that run just because we’ve been working so hard and diligently to really make this car do that,” Torrence said. After Friday’s standout run, Steve also has the track record with his stellar blast to close out the day. New England Dragway has also been good to the Torrence family, with Steve winning in back-to-back years before his father won last year.
After seven races, the four-time champ is still seeking his first win of the 2022 season and could also claim his second No. record with a run of 3.664-seconds at 329.50 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Capco Contractors dragster. In a thrilling side-by-side qualifying run with points leader Brittany Force, Torrence set the track E.T.
