Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals Stock winner Chris Knudsen
The lost art of four-speed driving isn’t lost on Chris Knudsen, who shifted his way to his first national event title behind the wheel of his C/S ’69 Camaro. Knudsen ended Speer’s hopes for a double in the Stock final with a solid package that included a .002 light and a 10.608 on his 10.59 dial. Speer broke out by .011-second for the loss. Knudsen, whose late father, Roger, won the Brainerd race in 1998, stopped Ryan Hutar in the quarterfinals.
