With points on the line for the third week at Atlanta Motor Speedway’s Friday Night Drags, drivers that had enjoyed good runs prior to week seven looked to add to their good fortunes, while those that had not achieved the results desired hit the eighth-mile pit lane drag strip to shake loose a strong finish and close up ground in the points standings.
The intense drag racing action did not disappoint, as several drivers took advantage of the misfortunes of those ahead of them in points to climb back into the thick of the championship battle as the summer drag racing series will hit the midway point of the season next week. Week seven saw several new faces garner checkered flags at the end of the night for their performances.
In the Super Pro division, a new face went to victory lane as John Bonner claimed his first victory of the season. Prior to week seven, only Matt Carden and points leader Mark White had claimed trophies at the end of each night. The final round of action was slated to take place between Bonner and White, but White suffered a mechanical problem following the semi-final round of eliminations, allowing Bonner to claim the win on a solo pass-through. The win will move Bonner from his ninth-place points position into the thick of the points championship battle.
The hotly-contested Truck Advanced division saw a shake-up at the top of the standings as Andrew Pride, who entered the event tied atop the points standings with Chuck Poole, broke down during early round action and was sidelined for the rest of the evening. This opened the door for Will Coots, who took down Poole in the final round to claim his second win of the year and his first in points competition.
Meanwhile, David Sisk claimed his first win of the season in Pro competition. Sisk has now clawed his way back into the thick of the championship race in a division that had been all but dominated by David Harbin, who entered the night winning every Pro race up to this point, with the exception of one win by Billy Clevenger. Brian Leath was another driver who was able to take advantage of other drivers ahead of him not being as competitive and would claim his first Friday Night Drags trophy for this season. The win will move Leath up the ladder and inch him closer to points leader Buddy Patrick, who did not have his 1944 Willis Milk Truck racing on Friday.
