Titles Earned at Houston Raceway Park Texas Bracket Series
Bart Nelson, Drew Porcher, Camron Nelson, and Mallory Mosley claim titles at Houston Raceway Park’s Texas Bracket Series; final race weekend winners also crowned.
BAYTOWN, TX- The Texas Bracket Series presented by Houston Cheap Fireworks finished off its 2021 season and crowned its champions. Coming into the weekend the Burleson Construction Super Pro and Emmons Autoplex No Box Championships were both locked up so everyone was competing to find out where they would end. With payouts in the top three there was still some winnings up for grabs.
Our Championship and top 3 for our 2021 season have been determined and boy was it fun.
Burleson Construction Super Pro Track Champion
In Burleson Construction Super Pro, Bart Nelson would stand atop the heap with a season ending 3410, which would be 17 rounds ahead of the second place Brittany Ezell-Lejeune at 1710. Chris Hrabina, our Finish Line sponsor with H & H Tractor and Lawn would end up in a tie with his friend Stephen Hughes with 1700 each. Interesting high lights for the Super Pro championship, Brittany only made it to 3 out of 6 races to hold on to the number 2 spot. ALSO, if you combine the number 2 and number 3 spots you only tie Bart Nelson for the championship. Bart Nelson would only make it to the final round on the last day and still be denied a season event win.
Emmons Autoplex No Box Track Champion
In Emmons Autoplex No Box, Drew “Boots” Porcher would come into the weekend as the season champion as he would attend 3 out of 6 finals with 2930 and in one of those finals running himself. Daryl “The Mayor” Patton would come all the way from the number 9 spot to be 2nd for the 2021 season with 2010 points and veteran racer Jack Robinson would round out the top 3 with 1810.
Barrilleaux Motorsports Advanced Jr Dragster Track Champion
In Barrilleaux Motorsports Advanced Jr Dragster, Camron Nelson would hold off all his competitors to be the champion ending with 2130 points. Timothy Rivette would end 2nd with 1620 and Kade Guidry would be 3rd with 1530.
Barrilleaux Motorsports Sportsman Jr. Dragster Track Champion
In Barrilleaux Motorsports Sportsman Jr Dragster, Mallory Mosley would hold on to her lead by the narrowest of margins with 1920 points to end the season. Douglas Hughes would be half a round back to be 2nd with 1870 and Parker Freeman would end 1810 to be 3rd. Crazy how the youngest racers in the series would have the closest and most stressful end!
If your name was Nelson this weekend it was your weekend. In Jr Street Camron Nelson, unrelated to Bart Nelson and yes our Advanced Jr Champion also would win his way to represent Houston Raceway Park at the ET Finals in Ennis in a couple weeks.
Race Weekend Results
Let’s talk about the race weekend now!
Burleson Construction Super Pro
In Burleson Construction Super Pro, John Winn would wheel his 72 Vega to a door car win over the 15 American Dragster of Bart Nelson. Both would be .004 on the tree and get to the other end to have a .002 margin of victory.
Emmons Autoplex No Box
In Emmons Autoplex No Box, Daryl Patton would still be doubled at 4 cars and lose an entry to Jason Patterson where they would have to face off again in the finals where Patterson would be .038 up front and dead 2 making Patton mathematically ineligible from the start with a .047 light.
Barrilleaux Motorsports Advanced Jr. Dragster
Barrilleaux Motorsports Jr Dragster, Landon Emmons would wheel his Lucas Oil Jr to a win over Timothy Rivette in the Advanced category.
Barrilleaux Motorsports Sportsman Jr. Dragster
Douglas Hughes would wheel is Rasing Cane’s Chicken Finger Car to a win over Parker Richey, that would make Douglas in 4 out of 5 finals for the year, two of which would be on a buy backs which is why Mallory Mosley would ultimately win the championship in Sportsman.
In Jr Street competition Landon Emmons would faceoff with Camron Nelson in the finals where Landon would take the win.
King of the Track
Moving right along to our King of the Track Wally race and Jr Race of Champions run offs. Bart Nelson would race Jason Patterson for the NHRA King of the Track Wally. Nelson would be .011 on the tree to Pattersons .024, Patterson would go down the track to be 5.158 on the 5.14 dial but Nelson would win the Wally by running 4.738 on the 4.72 taking it by .0132 at the stripe.
Mallory Mosley and Camron Nelson being the champions in their respective categories had to figure out who would be our representative at the Division 4 Jr ET Finals in Ardmore Oklahoma here in a couple weeks. In a best 2 out of 3 race format they would use up all three rounds to decide the winner. Tied at one a piece Camron would ultimately go on to win and represent Houston Raceway Park in Ardmore.
Shootout Results
Time for some Shootout results!
Super Pro Shootout
Earlier in the day Britt Cummings with The Great American Guaranteed Million called and offered to award shootout winners an entry into his race in November. Super Pro would fill up at 16 cars and come up with two door cars in the finals of Dalton Lummus and Nathaniel Martinez, Martinez would be .007 on the tree to Lummus’ .018 and go down and take too much stripe giving the win to Lummus.
No Box Shootout
No Box didn’t fill up so no entry in to the Million but still a fun race where Corey Elly would take the win over Brian Gallagher, earning his first career win.
Jr. Dragster Shootout
In our Jr Dragster Shootout, Douglas Hughes would take the win over Emmaly Miller after Miller would break an engine at half-track.
Previous No Box Winner
Finally Jonathan Womack would be able to claim his winnings and check from a rain out race a few weeks ago pictured below.
