Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals Results
Chase Williams, Ross Laris, and Darian Boesch hoisted Wally’s at the NHRA SpringNationals at Houston Raceway Park.
BAYTOWN, TX – Competition Eliminator, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman were the only sportsman classes contested at the NHRA SpringNationals this past weekend after the forecast and amount of rain caused the remainder of the sportsman classes to be postponed.
The weekend was short, but it also seemed like it would never end due to rain delays and getting bumped for the pros. Winners Chase Williams (Comp), Ross Laris (TD), and Darian Boesch (TS) made the most out of their weekend, regardless of the circumstances!
