NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Kyle Fickler, a member of the SEMA Board of Directors, created another lasting memory when he drove his dragster to a close final round win over Vernon Rowland to win for the first time since 2003. Rowland was four-thousandths of a second quicker at the start but broke out by a thousandth of a second while Fickler won with a safe 8.913. Fickler also stopped Topeka Super Street winner Trevor Larson and Mark Grame, last year’s No. 4 ranked driver en route to the victory.
