JOLIET, Ill. (AP) Steve Torrence won the NHRA Route 66 Nationals on Sunday for his fifth Top Fuel victory of the season, beating Antron Brown in the final.
The points leader edged Brown with a 3.779-second pass at 326.08 mph. Torrence has won three of the last four events to push his career total to 13.
”I knew Antron was going to bring his best, because when we race each other we are both at our best,” Torrence said. ”When I go up to the line I only think about racing my car and trying to beat everybody.
