Lamb, Vetter go back-to-back with Diamond Wally’s at NHRA Sonoma Nationals

Teammates Justin Lamb and Trey Vetter both visited the winner’s circle in Stock Eliminator and Super Comp at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway.

SONOMA, CA – Justin Lamb and Trey Vetter continued to showcase why they are among NHRA’s top Sportsman racers with victories at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals last weekend.

Lamb captured the Stock Eliminator title, adding another Wally trophy to his decorated career. He continued his success at Sonoma Raceway, where he has enjoyed multiple wins over the years. Vetter claimed the Super Comp title, giving the rising Sportsman standout another national event victory. The win adds to an impressive résumé that has continued to grow over the past two seasons.

The pair have become one of the strongest family duos in NHRA Sportsman racing. Last season, Lamb and Vetter also celebrated together in Sonoma after each earned national event victories, and they returned to the winner’s circle together once again in 2026.

Joining them in the winner’s circle was Clint Neff (Comp), Jody Lang (SS), Doug Sedmak (SG), Keith Winters (TD), and Ken Ratzloff (TS).
