BAKERSFIELD 2024 - FULL NOSTALGIA TOP FUEL ELIMINATIONS

Описание: #PEAKsquad #peakpitnote #DragRacingNews #MarchMeet

Tyler Hester was also a first-time Bakersfield winner as he won the Top Fuel title by beating Shawn Bowen. An hour after his monumental victory, Hester was still shocked.

"It hasn't sunk in yet," Hester said. "I don't know, but I'm so happy that I can't even think straight right now. My family has been chasing this one for a long time, and we've just never been able to make it happen. To finally have a little bit of luck on our side and things to go our way to get it done, it feels really good."

Hester's day started off by taking out the No. 1 qualifier and defending champion, Tyler Hilton. He then took out Pete Wittenberg on arguably one of the closest races of the day, a 5.725-to-5.728.

"I could see them for a long time," Hester added. "That was a good drag race. Yeah, that was definitely the drag race of the day."

Lee bought Jeff Arend in a battle of drivers with plenty of experience racing on the NHRA's Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Arend was first off the land, but the lead was short-lived as his 5.658 elapsed time at 260 miles per hour quickly gobbled up Arend's 5.829.
