Matt Hagan breaks NHRA Funny Car track records at U.S. Nationals

CLERMONT, Ind. -- Matt Hagan broke both ends of the Funny Car track record Friday in the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway.

Hagan had a 3.799-second pass at 338.77 mph in a Dodge Charger R/T during the first of three qualifying days and first of five qualifying sessions.

"What a fun run to hang onto," Hagan said. "The car was out there digging and it's floating and it's hunting around. I made a couple corrections but was trying to not do too many. It's fun to be able to do something like that. I'm just glad to be out there and to be able to do something like that.
