Johnson Win's TAD at Woodburn-FC Final to be run later

Woodburn, Ore. - The NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Northwest Division 32nd Annual Les Schwab Challenge event at Woodburn Dragstrip was called prematurely due to rain. NHRA has met will all of the finalists and today's final rounds of eliminations for six sportsman categories, including Top Alcohol Funny Car, will be completed at one of the several upcoming division and national events.

Top Alcohol Dragster pilot Brandon Johnson of Shelton, Wash., was able to beat Mother Nature and Dale Carlson, Olympia, Wash., in the final to pick up the hardware. Johnson made his way out of the No.2 qualifying position and posted a troubled 7.064 second, 246.03 mph pass to pick up the win. This marks his first victory of the season and doubles his divisional points.

Due to rain, Top Alcohol Funny Car was cut short, so No.1 qualifier Jay Payne, Claremont, Calif., and Brian Thiel of Pleasant Grove, Calif., will square off in the finals at a later date.
