It’s unexplainable – you can’t put it into words. That’s why I’m almost hoarse. I felt proud for the family and the crew. My son works his tail off on that car, and I just wanted to do them proud and make my wife proud and all the sponsors. Thanks to everybody that supports me – all of my sponsors. It’s been a good weekend; my birthday’s today. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present. It’s just been a good day with IHRA and Summit; we couldn’t do it without them. I’ve been very blessed this year. It’s my first time running Top Sportsman. I stated with another car, and middle of the year, I bought this Corvette and went with it. I’ve only had it four or five months. Everything was great; I’ve had no problems. I’m from Spartanburg, S.C.; Division 9 is the toughest division I know of. I’m not knocking any of the rest of them, but the boys are bad in Division 9. You look at the top four in Top Dragster, three of them were Division 9.” The Summit Tournament of Champions was comprised of the top-three finishers from each IHRA division from the year-long Summit Pro- Am Tour program. Qualified drivers in their respective classes went head-to-head for the World Championship at the Summit World Finals.
