NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Jeff Taylor missed out on a chance to win the world championship in Stock, but he ended his season on a high note when he drove the DeFrank family’s new Camaro to a final-round victory over Ryan Mangus, who fouled by three-thousandths. Taylor, who now has 46 national event wins to his credit, managed to overcome a near-perfect .001 light by Mike Cotten in the second round and also scored wins against Tony Mandella and Jon Irving. Taylor finished the season with three wins and two runner-up finishes, including the NHRA Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas two weeks before Pomona.
