AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals Comp winner Shaun Vincent
Comp featured a robust 32-car field, which had to make Shaun Vincent’s win even more gratifying than usual. Vincent added a third title to his previous wins in 2013 after opponent David Billingsley red-lighted by four-thousandths in the final. Vincent was the No. 17 qualifier in his C/TA Chevy S-10 but caught a huge break when low qualifier Doug Engels fouled in round one. Vincent managed to remain clean throughout eliminations with wins against Matt Harris, Chad Voges, and former world champ Craig Bourgeois. Unlike Vincent, Billingsley had been hit hard with Competition Index Control penalties, dropping his index from 8.82 to 8.64 before the final round.
