NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Super Gas winner Joe Harper
The Super Gas title went to Joe Harper after a stunning final-round performance that included a .006 light and a 9.913 that opponent Shannon Brinkley could not match. Harper, who also won the 2002 Houston race and the 2017 JEGS SPORTSnationals, was exceptionally sharp off the starting line with a string of .00 lights in the last four rounds and nothing worse than a .025 in eliminations. Runner-up Brinkley defeated Super Comp runner-up Miller in the quarterfinals to earn a bye into the final.
