NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Years from now, Shawn Cowie will be the answer to the trivia question “Who won NHRA’s first four-wide alcohol race?” after Cowie claimed the Top Alcohol Dragster title. In order to win his 21st national event title, Cowie had to defeat a stacked quad in Top Alcohol Dragster that featured Julie Nataas, Jackie Fricke, and Casey Grisel. Not surprisingly, all four racers ran in the 5.2s with Cowie’s 5.218 holding on to beat Fricke’s 5.223, and Nataas and Grisel finished as semifinalists with runs of 5.263 and 5.297, respectively.
