NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Dennis Steward won his second national event after a final-round win over Dale Hulquist. Driving an FGT/L ’64 Plymouth owned by former track operator Carl Weisinger, Steward plotted his way through the huge 128-car field of Super Stock to win drag racing’s most significant title. After a little luck in his round-two race against 1988 Indy winner Mike Town, Steward took over with a combination of steady driving and a consistent race car. He matched his dial in a round-four win over Larry Hodge and also beat Venice Perno and David Barton before Hulquist fouled in the final round.
