Robert Hight (Funny Cary), Justin Ashley (Top Fuel) also bring Wallys on Sunday.
Pro Stock sophomore Camrie Caruso made NHRA drag-racing history Sunday at the Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park near Phoenix, beating Bo Butner in the final round.
Dave Connolly, Caruso’s crew chief, said his driver simply made an innocent mistake: “It was just an accident on Camrie’s part. No harm intended on that one. She just took too much of the first bulb and got ‘em both.” But at the moment she crossed the finish line, she said later, “I'm not going to lie—I wasn't really sure if I won or not until I pulled off the racetrack, because I like to just focus on going straight. I don't really look around, but it was so awesome. I just went up there and tried to make it just another round and tried my best to do my job, because I knew the guys were going to do theirs.
Meanwhile, Enders—the 46-time winner and reigning and five-time Pro Stock champion on the verge of 440 career round-wins—has blanked in the season’s first two races, dropping out in the first round at both Gainesville, Fla., and Phoenix.The Funny Car final round came down to a pair of three-time Camping World Drag Racing Series champions: the current one and the one who thought he should be.
Hight and Capps will meet again in six days at the Winternationals at Pomona, Calif. Both earned their first berths in the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge. Hight secured his berth by knocking off No. 1 qualifier Bob Tasca III, another keen rival, in the second round, and Capps set up the rematch by besting Blake Alexander in the quarterfinals.Justin Ashley overcame his first-round pitfalls, delivering a Top Fuel victory in a match between the class’ best “leavers” from the starting line.
