Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals Top Sportsman winner Dean Hall
Dean Hall’s win in Top Sportsman presented by Racing RVs was a thing of beauty that was highlighted by a rare perfect run in round two. Hall was never worse than .012 on the Tree as he drove his Korbel-backed Corvette to his third national event title. In the final, Hall defeated the red-hot Ed Olpin with a .006 light and a 7.295 on his 7.26 dial. Olpin already has a pair of wins on the young season, including a Top Sportsman win at the Pomona season opener.
