Arby's NHRA Southern Nationals Top Dragster winner Clint Riley
There was a first-time winner in Top Dragster presented by Racing RVs.com after Clint Riley stopped veteran Steve Cohen in the final round. Once again, the final was decided by a red-light with Cohen leaving too soon by four-thousandths of a second. Running in the 7.3’s, Riley had one of the slowest cars in the class, but he was also one of the most consistent with wins against Houston champ Ross Laris and Mark Jones, who were both among the quickest drivers in the class in Atlanta.
