Auto Club NHRA Finals Comp winner David Rampy
David Rampy became just the fourth driver in NHRA’s centennial club when he earned the Comp title in Pomona. Rampy, along with longtime crew chief Barry Davis, entered the 2018 season sitting on 96 wins and hit his stride at midseason with wins in Norwalk, Indy, and St. Louis, all of them behind the wheel of his Ray Skillman-backed A/EA ’32 Bantam roadster in Comp. In Pomona, Rampy took a nine-hundredths Competition Index Control penalty in his round-two win against Josh Lee but was able to hold on for the win. His 100th victory became official when opponent Doug Lambeck fouled in the final round.
