NHRA Arizona Nationals Top Sportsman winner Bryan Warr
Bryan Warr’s path to the win in Top Sportsman presented by Racing RVs began with a narrow win over six-time world champ Jeg Coughlin Jr. and included victories against past Super Gas champ Mike Ferderer and Ed Olpin, who won back-to-back Phoenix titles in 2014-15. The final, which pitted Warr against Bud Preuss, began as a close race with both drivers sharp on the starting line. Downtrack, Pruess’ ’69 Camaro appeared to get loose, and he slowed to a 6.851 on his 6.79 dial, while Warr collected his first career win with a 6.978 on his 6.93 prediction.
