NHRA Arizona Nationals Top Sportsman winner Mike Ferderer
Mike Ferderer collected career title No. 24 in the Top Sportsman presented by Racing RVs class. Ferderer, who claimed his first victory and the Super Gas national championship in 1985, was able to celebrate early in the final round when his opponent, Richard Okerman, fouled by two-thousandths. For the record, Ferderer drove his K&N Filters-backed ’06 Pontiac to a solid 7.254 on his 7.26 dial for the victory. It was Ferderer’s fourth win at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. He was also a winner at the Phoenix track in 1999, 2000, and 2009.
