Alabama Racers Win 3 of 5 Friday Gamblers IHRA Division 8 Summit Team Finals
HARVEST, AL — Alabama International Dragway had three of the five winners at Friday’s Gamblers races at the IHRA Division 8 (South) Summit Team Finals.
The Steele, Alabama track had Jarrett Kay (No Box), Hunter Handy (Junior Dragster) and Dillon Eason (Golf Cart) win races at Rocket City Dragway. Kole Pritchett from Crossville Dragway (Box) and Chester Lay (Sportsman) from Knoxville also were winners.
Pritchett was the winner in the Box class as Caleb McDaniel from Knoxville Dragway raced to a runner-up finish for a second straight night.
Kay captured the No Box victory as another Knoxville racer, Murrell Roderick, made it to the final round.
Lay denied 2021 IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Champion David Bigham from Crossville a chance to win Sportsman class for a second straight day.
It was an all-Alabama final in the Junior class as Handy got the measure of John Varner.
The Golf Cart race also featured a pair of Alabama racers with Eason the winner and Cole Bowen taking runner-up honors.
With two days of Gamblers behind them, the racers competed in Saturday’s main event.
