Clay Millican (Top Fuel), Ron Capps (Funny Car), Alex Laughlin (Pro Stock) and Tii Tharpe (Top Fuel Harley) took home wins in their respective classes Sunday at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tennessee.
For Clay Millican, it was an emotional first career victory as the 51-year-old is far from a new face in the sport. However, on Sunday he finally sealed the deal after qualifying No. 4 and then defeating Kyle Wurtzel, Brittany Force and Steve Torrence en route to the final against Leah Pritchett. With a cylinder out on Pritchett’s machine, Millican just edged the Don Schumacher Racing driver out with a 3.
