NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Brett Speer, who lives less than a half-mile down Highway 371 from Brainerd International Raceway, again used his local knowledge to his advantage, winning the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals for the third straight time and fifth overall. Speer, who also has won in Super Stock and Stock, got his first Comp win by defeating world champ Bruno Massel Jr. by just .004-second in a match in which both ran .62 under their indexes.
