The highlight-filled race served as a fitting end to the 2011 season.  Cary Goforth (Extreme Pro Stock), Ashley Owens (Pro Extreme Motorcycle) and Mike Castellana (Pro Nitrous) had already clinched world championships going into the last race of the season. Joining them after completion of the event as 2011 ADRL World Champions are Pro Extreme standout Jason Hamstra, who clinched his title with a first-round win, and Dan Millen, who became the Extreme 10.5 world champion the same way by winning in the  first round of eliminations on Sunday.

Millen carried that momentum to earn a World Finals VII win on Sunday, joining a list that also included Shannon Jenkins (Pro Nitrous), Dave Vantine (Pro Extreme Motorcycle), Tony Gillig (Extreme Pro Stock), Chanse Bullock (Summit Racing Equipment Top Sportsman) and Lee Adkins (Pro Modified).

Jason Scruggs (shown) qualified at No. 2 with his first pass in the 3.50s (3.59) just behind the 3.58 qualifying lap from Texan Frankie Taylor. On Sunday Scruggs ran in the 3.60’s in every round of eliminations, culminating with a 3.604 in the finals. The win was the second for Scruggs in the last four ADRL races. 

Texas racer Gaylen Smith’s LenMar company sponsored the World Finals. The ADRL regular recently also sewed up the TOPMA series title at Kennedale, TX
