AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals Stock winner Rusty Hall
Stock winner Rusty Hall fulfilled a longtime goal by finally winning a national event in his home state of Texas. Hall, whose three previous victories include an Indy title in 2002, won a classic Ford vs. Chevy muscle car battle when he drove his ’67 Shelby GT500 Mustang to a win over Bobby Brannon’s big-block ’69 Camaro. Hall won with a 10.218 on his 10.20 dial after Brannon broke out. Interestingly, Hall was driving the same car that longtime family friend Charlie Ford drove to the Dallas Stock title in 1987.
