Alexander wins Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals

SONOMA, Calif. -- Blake Alexander raced to his second Top Fuel victory of the year Sunday in the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals.

Alexander beat Tony Schumacher with a 4.004-second pass at 287.41 mph.

"We may be a part-time team but we come out to the track trying to win every race, and so far this year we have had a lot of success with that," Alexander said. "My life has changed this year with how well we have been running, and the opportunity that Bob (Vandergriff) has given me to drive his racecar has been paramount in my career to take me to higher levels.
