John Finke (near lane) met Courtney Force

In an anticlimactic win in Top Alcohol Dragster John Finke notched his first win of the season. Although the Selkirk, N.Y., racer ran consistently all weekend and laid down both the quickest run of the event and the fastest, Finke's win was less than exciting. His opponent, Mike Kosky of Cuddy, Pa.,broke in the semifinals and was unable to make repairs in time for the finals. However, due to time constraints caused by the weather, NHRA officialsdeclared Finke the winner without making him stage the car.

The other classes were finished on Monday, June 15.

Dan Fletcher's win in Comp Eliminator was national event win No. 60 for the Churchville, N.Y., racer. It was his seventh in Comp Eliminator, which he just started racing in 2008. He also has national event wins in Super Stock, Stock Eliminator and Super Gas. In the final in Englishtown he beat Erich Bollman (near lane) of Newark, Del.

In Super Stock, Peter Biondo, Maspeth, N.Y., earned his 36th NHRA national event win. Driving his 2009 Cobalt, he beat another racer from Maspeth, Donald Sabin in a 2005 Sunfire, to get the trophy. Biondo has also logged wins in Stock Eliminator and Super Comp.
