2021 Menards NHRA Nationals Stock champion Chris Knudsen
Chris Knudsen won his second national event title behind the wheel of his manually-shifted Camaro and in the process turned in one of the best driving performances in recent memory. Knudsen kicked off eliminations with a perfect .000 reaction time and also had lights of .004, .005, .004, and a .009 in the final against Randi Lyn Shipp, who fouled by .018-second.
