NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

For the 39th time in his career, Tommy Phillips claimed a national event Wally after driving his CBS ArcSafe dragster to a final-round win against Division 7 ace Ryan Herem. In a typically close Super Comp race, both drivers had .003 reaction times, and Phillips turned on the win light with an 8.915 after Herem broke out with an 8.890. Phillips retired as a touring Pro last season but has vowed to maintain a reduced schedule, primarily racing at the events closest to his home in Forney, Texas. Phillips managed to overcome a .001 by Austin Richardson in the second round and defeated Ross Laris, Madison Ellison, and George Caheely.
