DragChamp Top 10 List

1 – Jesse Fritts

Jesse Fritts enjoyed a weekend to remember at Coles County Dragway. He collected six trophies on the weekend, including two Wally’s, to grab the #1 spot on the Top 10 List. Fritts won Super Pro in his Camaro roadster on Saturday and Sunday and also collected the King of the Track trophy both days as well. As if that wasn’t enough, Fritts won a Wally in his Jr. dragster and won the Jr. King of the Track as well.

John Markham collected five victories over the weekend to claim the #2 spot on the Top 10 List. Markham rode his bike to three victories on Friday night at Huntsville winning Street ET, 6.0 Index, and the Super Comp class. On Saturday, Markham once again claimed the 6.0 Index title and also raced to a runner-up in the Street ET class. Not sure how he wasn’t already worn out but on Sunday, Markham won the 6.0 class for the third straight day and went to the semifinals in Pro ET. His son also joined in pulling off a double in his Jr.!
