Brown quickest on final day of testing in Indy
Antron Brown laid down the quickest pass in Top Fuel while fellow Don Schumacher Racing teammate Matt Hagan had the best run in Funny Car Thursday as open testing came to an end at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series teams wrapped up a two-day test session in preparation for the 57th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil, the world’s most prestigious drag race, which will be held Aug. 31 – Sept. 5.
Brown, who is coming off a recent win at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, Minn., powered his Matco Tools dragster to an impressive 3.810-second pass at 321.50 mph on one of the final runs made Thursday evening.
“Testing went well today and we tried a whole variety of different things today,” said Brown. “We wanted to see what we could do at the same time and conditions as we are going to actually qualify at next Friday. So next Friday is going to be coming and we got a good baseline to go from with that last pass, which was a good number. I think if we can run that next Friday, we’ll be somewhere in the top half of the field for sure.”
Defending Mac Tools U.S.Nationals winner Larry Dixon posted the fastest second run of the session, the control of his Al-Anabi Racing dragster to a 3.828 at 318.39. Dixon's teammate and current points leader Del Worsham was third in his series from 3.829 to 318.02 in his Al-Anabi Racing dragster. Rod Fuller in fourth position with his neck from 3.866 to 320.43, while Copart dragster driver Brandon Bernstein finished with his fifth race from 3.883 to 313.22.
In Funny Car, Hagan, who currently sits fifth in point, set up the best time of the class with a 4.055 at 310.41 in his Dodge Charger Die Hard.
“Today we started off the day great and went 4.05 at 310 and got a good baseline to work off of with this combination,” said Hagan. “I think there is a lot more there but we slowed everything back down and we went out here for a hero run and didn’t quite make it, but at least we made a good solid lap the first lap and got something to build off of and move forward. We will roll into Indy with that in our pocket and kind of see what happens.
