PRO NITROUS

Jason Harris continued his domination of the Pro Nitrous class by defeating Tommy Franklin for the win with a 3.867/172.45 pass that easily covered Franklin’s shut-off 3.981/157 effort. Harris admitted he overdrove his car when it got a little out of shape near the top end of his run.

"I had my hands full. I about wrecked it, but you get in race mode and it makes you do dumb things sometimes," he flatly stated. "It got over on the centerline there and I threw the chutes out and it saved it, but I shouldn't have done that. I've been in a couple of wrecks before and I sure don't want to do that again. That was probably one of the dumber things I've done this year, but God was with me and fortunately it worked out alright."

The Pittsboro, NC, native started from the third qualifying position and beat Jeff Naiser, Ron Muenks and Lizzy Musi in the semis on an engine-wounding pass punctuated by red-hot parts and pieces exiting the engine's right-side headers.
