Antron Brown leads all of the Top Fuelers going into Sunday’s elimination rounds at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway. Brown ran a class best 4.00 in the heat of the second session.
Over on the Funny Car side, Ashley Force-Hood continues to show the boys that girls can do this and do it well. Her 4.151 from Friday night was never bettered and she will start her Mustang from the number one position for the second time this year, and the 11th time in her career.
Allen Johnson from nearby Greenville, Tennessee was the number one in Pro Stock with a blistering 6.722 in the heat of Saturday’s first session. Johnson considers Bristol his home track and this is his first pole at Thunder Valley.
