TOP DRAGSTER


J.R. Baxter

The Dart Top Dragster trophy went home with J.R. Baxter, who hails from Waxahachie, TX, just a few miles away from the track. Qualifying in the 16th and final position after 21 cars made qualifying attempts, Baxter benefited from a red-light start by number-eight starter Shane Eperjesi in the first round of racing, the beat Jimmy Sackuvich and Jon Bradford, who broke out in the semis.

In the final round, after Baxter and number-one qualifier Wade Pennington left with identical .022 lights, Baxter ran 4.30 at 158.54 on his 4.27 dial in, while Pennington went 3.88 at 173.36 after dialing in at 3.82 seconds.
