NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Three-time NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Top Fuel champ Antron Brown had the distinct honor of having NHRA legend and International Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Kenny Bernstein sit in his 11,000-horsepower Matco Tools/Lucas Oil Top Fuel dragster and warm it up for the first qualifying session at the Dodge Power Brokers NHRA Mile-High Nationals.
 
“That was some pressure right there, having ‘the King’ come back out and sit in our car,” Brown said. “When he warmed that car up, people don’t realize, he went through all of the motions without even thinking about it. Put it in reverse, forward, smooth not grinding the gears, trimming the fuel pump like he was there just yesterday. Having Kenny Bernstein, the king of speed, warm up our car and then to make a run like that tonight with him being here was truly special. That was a representative run and something we can give back to Kenny with all he’s done for our sport. He’s definitely our hero at AB Motorsports."
