BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) Clay Millican raced to his first career Top Fuel victory Sunday, beating Leah Pritchett in the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals final.
The Tennessee driver had a 3.825-second pass at 316.38 mph in the final. He won in his 254th Top Fuel start and ninth final-round appearance.
”I love what I do,” Millican said. ”There were times I ever wondered if this was going to happen. I don’t deserve the credit. I’m really happy for David Grubnic and all of the boys who work on this car and I mean that one-hundred percent.”
Ron Capps won in Funny Car, and Alex Laughin in Pro Stock.
