Two years removed from a Top Dragster presented by Vortech Superchargers championship, Paul Nero is still going strong and earned his fourth career win in the class by stopping Chuck Phelps in the final round. Nero gained a sizable lead at the start with a .013 light and held on for the victory with a 6.981 on his 6.97 dial. Nero was remarkably consistent throughout eliminations, including a perfect 6.96 on his 6.96 dial in his quarterfinal win against Ed Olpin.
