DragChamp Top 10 List – 07/15/20

1 – Corey Griffith

Corey Griffith lit up the World Footbrake Challenge after taking home wins on Thursday and Friday at the legendary event. A week later Corey was back to his winning ways making the $10K finals on Saturday and Sunday at the Quaker City Big Bucks Nationals. Even more impressive is after a runner-up finish on Saturday, Corey broke his trusted Camaro. On Sunday, he jumped into a car he’s never driven and still managed to reach his second consecutive final round in Salem.

2 – Steve Sisko

When you win the largest paying drag race in history and come back and win $100K the following day, you have earned a spot in the Top 10 List for a second straight week. Since Steve’s $100K victory came on Sunday of last week, we’ll count it for this week’s Top 10 List. We wanted to recognize Steve’s accomplishment for a second week due to the significance of his performance in Michigan. Read more about his $1.1 Million win here.
