NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Fan-favorite Clay Millican kicked off an exciting start to the Pep Boys NHRA Nationals, running in the first pair of eliminations alongside Josh Hart. Following the playing of the national anthem, Hart red-lit at the starting line, giving Millican a clear path to victory. Despite contemplating the idea of saving engine parts for the Countdown to the Championship, Millican thrilled the crowd by making a near-full pass. His decision not only entertained the fans but also provided his team with valuable data for the rest of the season.
