NHRA Toyota Nationals Super Comp winner Kevin Wright
The Super Comp field in Las Vegas featured a number of drivers still in contention for the world championship but none of them made the final round. Kevin Wright, who claimed wins at the Pomona season opener in 2010 and 2012, added a third title after Ken Mostowich fouled by just four-thousandths of a second in the final round. Wright opened eliminations with a nearly perfect 9.051 on the 9.05 altitude-adjusted index and knocked off national event winners Robert Naber, Marko Perivolaris, and Mark Grame to reach the final. Mostowich, driving his ’68 Camaro against a huge field of dragsters, topped title contender Tom Stalba to earn a bye into the final.
