Top Fuel once again thundered down the Palm Beach quarter-mile Saturday night during the CarSafe Palm Beach Nitro Jam as Bruce Litton took home his very first Palm Beach Ironman with a sweep of Kyle Wurtzel in the sports fastest class. Litton’s best pass of the night came in round one with a 4.905, 294.75 and the Indianapolis native followed that up with a tire-smoking 5.807, 177.42 in the final. Wurtzel broke and could not make the final call.
