Mopar Express Lane NHRA Midwest Nationals Super Stock champ Marion Stephenson
A year after winning the Division 2 Super Stock title, Marion Stephenson found himself in the winner’s circle at a national event for the first time since 2016 after he drove his GT/HA Cobalt past Rylee Speer in the final. The final was decided by just three-thousandths with Stephenson turning on the win light with a 9.535 on his 9.53 dial. Speer also matched her dial with a 10.049. Stephenson, now ranked No. 9 nationally, beat Jeremy Duncan and Justin Jenkins to earn a bye run into the final round. The final round was the second for Speer, who previously won in Norwalk in 2015.
