In the final results from Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ, and the final round in the NHRA Northeast Division Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Lincoln Morehead took the win in Super Stock and the division points lead over Kent Hanley to lead the list of winners at Raceway Park.

Morehead of Marlboro, NY, faced off with Kent Hanley of Newton, Conn., for the Super Stock win and possibly the Northeast Division Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Championship with Morehead coming out on top for the win and the lead in the division standings. Although this is the final event in the Northeast Division, racers can travel outside their home division and continue to score championship points. Morehead clocked in at 10.249 seconds at 121.62 in his ’87 Camaro for the win while Hanley’s '94 Cavalier GT/BA turned in a 9.552/140.87 clocking.

In Comp Eliminator it was Ray Vierheller, Barberton, Ohio, turning on the win light to take home the trophy over Frank Aragona, Freehold, N.J. Aragona appeared to be on his way to the win but Vierheller’s D/DA caught him just before the finish line with a 7.288 second, 179 mph run to a 8.070 at 159.17 for Aragona’s F/ED. The runner-up finish should give Aragona the division title.
