NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The incomparable Peter Biondo, who made his first trip down the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park dragstrip on a big wheel when he was a young child, picked up career win No. 52 when he drove his ’69 Camaro past fellow Englishtown regular Russ Linke in the final round of Stock. Biondo won with a 10.372 on his 10.37 dial after Linke broke out by three-hundredths. Biondo’s path to the final featured several tough opponents, including fellow national champ Lee Zane, Ed Bednaz, and Joe Lisa. The seven-time national champion has now won his home event five times since 2002.
