CONCORD, N.C. -- Mike Salinas took the No. 1 qualifying spot in Top Fuel on Saturday at the NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals.
Salinas had a zMAX Dragway-record time of 3.687 seconds at 327.43 mph Friday night. He raced to his first career victory April 7 at the four-wide event in Las Vegas.
"We knew (on Friday) that the track might not hold much," Salinas said. "Alan (Johnson, tuner) is a genius at what he's doing and the nice part about it is the car did exactly what we wanted it to do, getting us into the number one spot.
