Auto Club NHRA Finals Super Stock winner Jeff Dona
The battle for the Super Stock world title ended in the semifinals when contender Kyle Rizzoli lost a tough battle to 104-time national event winner Dan Fletcher, who in turn lost the final to Jeff Dona. Fletcher was nearly perfect off the starting line with a .001 reaction time in the final round, but the win light came on in Dona’s lane following a double breakout. Dona, appearing in his second final of the season, won with a 9.750 on his 9.78 dial, and Fletcher, attempting to tie Frank Manzo with national event win No. 105, took the loss with a 10.088 on his 10.12 prediction. With the win, Dona wrapped up a top-10 finish in Super Stock.
