Morgan Lucas powered his Lucas Oil/GEICO Top Fuel dragster to a season-finale upset victory at the 50th annual NHRA Finals.

Starting Sunday eliminations against Billy Torrence, Lucas got off the line first with a .047 reaction time and tripped the win light with a 3.745-second pass. However, a pedalfest victory against Shawn Langdon in round two really put Lucas' day into overdrive.

Not knowing what to expect after a blown engine the round before, Lucas faced off against Antron Brown in the semifinals. Posting what was the second-fastest pass in NHRA history at 3.707 seconds, Lucas was clearly on a mission to bring home the second Wally of his part-time season.

"Blessed doesn't even begin to describe it," Lucas said. "(Crew chief) Aaron Brooks deserves all the credit for what he's done by leading this team and working so hard to make it all happen. I'm just so proud of everybody.

"I wish we were racing Richie (Crampton) in the final obviously, but that guy has a lot of wins ahead of him in his future and hopefully so do I. You never know when it's going to be your last one. So for me, if it was the last one, I guess I wouldn't mind too much."
