Dodge NHRA Nationals Top Alcohol Funny Car winner Sean Bellemeur
Sean Bellemeur won the Top Alcohol Funny Car title at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series regional event in Reading earlier this season and returned for a second win by stopping Phil Burkart Jr. in the final round. In one of the most competitive battles of the day, Bellemeur gave up four-hundredths at the start but made it up at the finish line with a 5.542 to 5.586 victory. The final margin of victory was just .002-second at the finish line. Bellemeur made his way to the final with wins against Steve Griboski, DJ Cox Jr., and Andy Bohl. Against Cox and Bohl, it took a slight starting-line holeshot for Bellemeur to turn on the win light.
