DragChamp Top 10 List

1 – Zac Fulcher

Zac Fulcher grabs the #1 spot this week after an impressive performance at the TB Promotions 50K. He kicked off the weekend racing down to 10 cars in the Gold Card race. Then on Friday, Fulcher drove his Super Stock style Cavalier to six cars before bowing out. In Saturday’s main event, he didn’t lose a round all day resulting in a win and runner-up for $50,000! The EDR Motorsports owner and MRCOOL sponsored racer took homes a cool $60K for the win and runner-up.

2 – Tristan Sholar

Tristan Sholar lands in the two spot this week after running himself in the Super Pro final at Gulfport Dragway Saturday night. The win qualified him for the WDRA finals later this year.

2 – Shannon Gilmore

Shannon Gilmore joins Sholar in the #2 spot this week after running himself in the $3,000 final at London Dragway.

3 – Big Money Race Winners

In addition to Zac Fulcher’s big $50K win, there were several other big money winners last weekend. Mikey Bloomfield grabbed his first big check in a while at the TB Promotions 50K earning a $25,000 payday in the process. Chris Bear also cashed for $25K at Kil-Kare when he won the Sunday main event. The win was just one of many big paydays for Bear this summer. Our Canadian friends also had a big money race with Tanner Gaetz taking home a $20,000 payday. Gaetz had an interesting run to the final when he accidentally dialed over a second slow to run Jason Padd heads up. Gaetz managed to turn on the winlight by hanging a wheel on Padd to take the win and continue his run to the winners circle.
