Antron Brown become the first driver in NHRA history to win races in Pro Stock Motorcycle and Top Fuel, beating Larry Dixon in the Top Fuel final Sunday in the O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals.
Brown, who also joined J.R. Todd as the only black Top Fuel winners, followed Del Worsham (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) into the winner's circle at the fourth of 24 races in the series
Worsham’s Phoenix goal is to simply be ‘the man’ at sponsor’s ‘home race’
While there's certainly no such thing as a bad time for a victory, there's also no getting around the fact that some moments in time, and some confluences of circumstance, create an environment in which good results are apt to deliver much more than the standard amount of good cheer. This weekend's 24th annual Checker, Schuck's, Kragen Nationals, at Firebird International Raceway near Phoenix, would appear to be just such a perfect place for Del Worsham to deliver a bottom line that would be, in total, much greater than the sum of its parts.
