NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

U.S. Nationals Comp champ Kevin Self won for the third time in his career when he defeated three-time Indy champ Jason Coan in the final. For Self, the victory carried extra meaning because his father, Glen, won the Street class at Indy in 1969. By the time Coan and Self reached the final round of the 52-car field, they both had been hit hard by the Competition Index Control system; Self had lost .19-hundredths and Coan .22-hundredths. At the stripe, Self’s F/EA was ahead by nearly a tenth and lit the win light with a 7.79, a run nearly seven-tenths under his original index.
