Fuller’s victory gives him top fuel points lead
LAS VEGAS -- Hometown driver Rod Fuller completed the best weekend of his three-year pro career Sunday, winning the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals to take the top fuel points lead with one race left.
The victory, Fuller’s third win of the season, followed a win Saturday in the Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout bonus event.
In funny car, Tony Pedregon put a stranglehold on the title chase with his fourth win of the year. The other three racers fighting for the funny car title in the Countdown to One all lost in Round 1.
Pro stock star Greg Anderson won for the fifth time at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to regain the points lead he held for most of the regular season. Three-time and reigning pro stock motorcycle champion Andrew Hines remained the man to beat in his category with another convincing victory.
By beating Doug Kalitta in a close final, Fuller moved 52 points ahead of Larry Dixon in the standings.
