    Eliminations are complete from the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event held at National Trail Raceway. Top Alcohol Dragster pilot Marty Thacker of Robinson, Ill., and Top Alcohol Funny Car driver Chris Foster from Davenport, Iowa, took home the hardware. This event concludes the fifth of six in North Central division competition in which racers earn points towards divisional and national championships.

    Thacker, last year’s Top Alcohol Dragster divisional champ, knocked out the current points leader Bill Reichert, Owosso, Mich., in the first round on his way to the winner’s circle. In the final, he posted a perfect light and ran a 5.434 second, 262.85 mph pass to beat Ken Perry from Richmond Hill, Ont., to pick up the holeshot win. This is Thacker’s first victory of the season.

    Foster is making a run for the points lead by picking up his second win of the year. The No.1 qualifier of the weekend posted a 5.748 second, 249.03 mph lap to eliminate Andy Bohl of Racine, Wis., in the money round.

    Here are the round by round results from this weekend's action in Hebron, Ohio.
