TOP DRAGSTER
DerrikSholar (far lane) took the Top Dragster win over Cody Moore.

With his first PDRA Top Dragster win coming at Memphis, Derrik Sholar moved into the thick of the 2015 championship points fight. Sholar, from Holly Ridge, NC, started from the 10th qualifying position, then made steady progress through Wade Pennington, Zach Sackman and Bob Henry before taking down Cody Moore in a tight final round.

"The key to winning was my Race Tech car, Nesbitt motor and my crew chief Ross Willard, he's been phenomenal here making all the right calls," Sholar said in victory lane.

Sholar left with an outstanding .004 light in the final, then ran 4.129 at 166.68 mph against a 4.12 dial in to beat Oklahoma's Moore, who posted a .023 reaction time followed by a 4.202 run at 164.67 against a 4.19 dial in.
