The Battle Thickens


NASCAR has drawn a lot of attention this season with there tight points battles, but the NHRA has one that is even better as they close in on the final race of the season in just two short weeks in Pomona, CA. For Don Schumacher Racing it cant come soon enough as they will take home yet another NHRA Funny Car Championship; the only remaining question is which of his driver will it be. Fast Jack Beckman is currently sitting in the points lead only four points ahead of DSR teammate Ron Capps. Ironically the two teammates swapped crews shortly after the season began, Capps didn’t take long to adjust as he made six consecutive final rounds. Beckman and his new crew on the other hand did take a little warming up, but the made sure everyone still knew they were there after a record setting weekend by the team in St. Louis. The interesting thing about Beckman and Capps is, in there successful careers neither of them has a NHRA Championship.
This is all about to change for one of them in two very short weeks, and when the time comes every millisecond is going to count.
