Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals Top Dragster winner Paul Nero
Top Dragster presented by Racing RVs winner Paul Nero didn’t leave much room for opponent Jeff Havens in the final round with a package that featured a .010 light and a 6.708 on his 6.70 dial. Nero’s consistency helped him survive a couple of close races, including a semifinal battle against Andy Spiegel that was decided by .008-second and a quarterfinal match against Michaelyn Roelle that fell in his favor by just seven-thousandths. Nero is a former national event winner, having won the Super Street title at the 2000 Seattle event.
