WARREN-FOLEY, STOTT AMONG NHRA NATIONAL OPEN WINNERS Taylor, Urquhart, Altilio, Harrison, Rudolph Also Score at Rockingham Dragway Event ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Clinton’s Brooke Warren-Foley rode a perfect reaction time to a final round victory over veteran Wayne Brooks of Monroe, Ga., that earned her the Top Dragster title in Sunday’s NHRA National Open Series event contested on the eighth mile course at Rockingham Dragway. Warren-Foley’s starting line advantage forced Brooks into a breakout foul that made him a runner-up for the second time Sunday. He also lost in the final round of the companion Lucas Oil Series event contested at the traditional quarter mile distance. Among the other National Open winners was Dylan Stott of Columbus, who drove his 2018 Ford Mustang past the 2010 Pontiac GXP of Doug Gbur in the Top Sportsman final thereby denying the Greer, S.C., driver a weekend sweep. Lumberton’s Corey Taylor claimed the Super Stock; Ron Urquhart of Chesterfield, Va., prevailed in Stock; and Frank Altilio of Opopka, Fla., Dale Harrison of Sanford and Donald Rudolph of Lincolnton were the last drivers standing in Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street, respectively. Raleigh’s Kent Hanley shared Brooks’ “close-but-no-cigar” status. After losing to Altilio in the final round on the eighth mile, he lost to Amanda Boicesco of Warminster, Pa., in the final round of the companion Lucas Oil Series event. Rudolph upset 2014 NHRA Southern Nationals Super Street champion Ed Pauley of Shelby in a double breakout final to win his hardware.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER WIN TITLES IN LUCAS OIL FINALE Harrisburg’s Furr, Lumberton’s Phillips Among Other Winners at Rockingham ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Former NHRA Super Gas World Champion Iggie Boicesco of Warminster, Pa., shared the winners’ circle with daughter Amanda and Harrisburg’s Steve Furr kept at least some of the hardware at home Sunday as drivers from 20 states and Canada raced for points and prize money in the final divisional event in the NHRA’s 2020 Lucas Oil Series. A nine-time NHRA national tour winner who most recently hoisted the trophy at the 2019 NHRA New England Nationals at Epping, N.J., Boicesco drove his 2017 Chevy Corvette past the 1969 Camaro of Christopher Lewis of Rincon, Ga., to claim the Super Gas title just ahead of his daughter’s final round conquest of Raleigh’s Kent Hanley in Super Comp. Furr, a multiple-time IHRA Super Rod world champion who has won NHRA national events in three different categories, got a free ride to the Top Dragster title when final round opponent Wayne Brooks of Monroe, Ga., was unable to make the call. After winning Super Comp at the NHRA Gatornationals in 2010, the versatile Carolinian came back to win the Top Dragster title at the same race in 2016. He then won Super Gas in back-to-back years in the Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol, Tenn. (2017-2018). Other winners in an event that presented one of the final point-earning opportunities of the season for those pursuing both NHRA national and divisional titles included Doug Gbur of Greer, S.C., who topped veteran Johnny Brooks of Surgoinsville, Tenn., in the Top Sportsman final; Richard Preiser of Jackson, N.J., who drove his ’32 Bantam roadster past the 2008 Pontiac G5 of second generation standout Joel Warren of Clinton in Competition Eliminator and veteran Joe Lisa of Vernon, N.J., who beat Lumberton’s Corey Taylor in the Super Stock final. In one of the event’s few all-North Carolina finals, Cody Phillips of Lumberton drove his 2001 Corvette past the Olds Cutlass of 1988 IHRA World Champion, 2019 NHRA Southern Nationals’ winner and former Rockingham track champion Chip Johnson of Fayetteville to win in Stock Eliminator. Brian Sawyer of Lunenburg, Mass., the 2017 New England Nationals Super Street champion at the wheel of his 1967 Camaro, made a long trip south worthwhile by locking up the Division 1 championship with a final round win over Kevin MacNicol of North Point, Fla., and, finally, after winning the 6-9 year-old Jr. Dragster title in 2019, Fayetteville’s Brody Callahan returned this year to win in the 10-12 division over Benson’s Bladen Core. Many of those drivers who made the trip to compete in the Lucas Oil event stayed over on Sunday to run the last National Open of the pandemic year.
