Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals Stock winner Brian McClanahan
For many hardcore fans of NHRA class racing, the Stock eliminator final was worth the price of admission since it featured a heads-up AA/SA contest between Brian McClanahan’s ’69 Camaro and Robert Pond’s ’64 Thunderbolt. Following a pair of towering wheelstands, both cars ran deep into the nine-second zone, with McClanahan squeezing out a 9.721 to 9.795 victory.
