AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals Top Dragster champ Matt Driskell
Matt Driskell, the 1996 Super Comp national champ, is now a serious contender for a second title following his win in the Top Dragster presented by Racing RVs category. The final round featured two of the top-five ranked drivers in the country with Driskell running right on his 6.32 dial to defeat Jeff Strickland, who was .01-second over with a 6.42. Driskell, who finished as runner-up in last year’s inaugural Top Dragster points battle, also defeated reigning champ Marco Abruzzi en route to his seventh career win. After the final, Driskell was just one point behind current leader Steve Furr in the race for the 2016 title.
