ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. -- Steve Torrence took his fifth Top Fuel No. 1 qualifier of the season Saturday in the NHRA Summernationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.
Torrence, the winner of the season opener in Pomona, California, piloted his dragster to a 3.735-second pass at 325.06 mph on Friday to grab the top spot. He won in Englishtown in 2012.
"I had no expectations of the car coming out this year and running as well as it has," said Torrence, second last weekend in New Hampshire. "I had five No. 1 qualifiers coming into this season and we've had five in this season already.
