In Holley EFI Factory Super Cars, Geoff Turk
took the lead in qualifying with a 7.99 in his Chal-
lenger to become the first driver to break the
7-second barrier in the class, and earn a massive
monetary bonus through Holley EFI’s 7-Second
Club. He also made it to the final round of elimi-
nations, but Joseph Welch took the win with an
8.02 in his Drag Pak, while Turk took his car
through the stripe at 8.12.
ARP Nitrous Pro Street saw John Lastinger

Jr. drove to a 7.79 in his Mustang to set the pace

off the line before the tree activated, and Blanken-
ship then gave chase and won.

on Jamie Stanton, who drove to a 4.73 in Scotty
