AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals Super Gas winner Dwight Nuest
Dwight Nuest and his Dodge Rampage Super Gasser have been familiar sights in Division 3 for many years, and he finally got his first national event victory in Super Gas. Racing against fellow first-time finalist Randy Shipp, Nuest left first and grabbed the win, 9.921 to 9.924. Nuest did not have an easy path to the final round because he had to take out former national champion Jacob Elrod and national event winners Roger Warren and Steve Collier. Shipp also had his work cut out for himself with races against national champ Edmond Richardson and Super Comp winner Tommy Phillips.
