Tyler Hester was also a first-time Bakersfield winner as he won the Top Fuel title by beating Shawn Bowen. An hour after his monumental victory, Hester was still shocked.
"It hasn't sunk in yet," Hester said. "I don't know, but I'm so happy that I can't even think straight right now. My family has been chasing this one for a long time, and we've just never been able to make it happen. To finally have a little bit of luck on our side and things to go our way to get it done, it feels really good."
Hester's day started off by taking out the No. 1 qualifier and defending champion, Tyler Hilton. He then took out Pete Wittenberg on arguably one of the closest races of the day, a 5.725-to-5.728.
"I could see them for a long time," Hester added. "That was a good drag race. Yeah, that was definitely the drag race of the day."
FULL EVENT REPORT - competitionplus.com/drag-raci...
Lee bought Jeff Arend in a battle of drivers with plenty of experience racing on the NHRA's Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Arend was first off the land, but the lead was short-lived as his 5.658 elapsed time at 260 miles per hour quickly gobbled up Arend's 5.829.

Great Videos !!
Bowen’s have the best sounding car in my opinion
I wish we could see these slingshots and altered’s televised more on tv. Why should the NHRA be the only one to show drag racing?!
Adam Sorokin I'm guessing is Mike Sorokin's son?
Yes
If they’re running Nitro why aren’t the speeds higher? Are the engines smaller
They are limited by fuel pump, ignition and tire compared to the big show cars
@@Jtimmerman yes and less blower
@@Jtimmerman they’re still badass
@@kh40yr has it not been safe recently
12" nostalgia tires. compare that to nhra tf
Those are not Nostalgia dragsters because they don't push start them like they did in the day
Yes, it's a nostalgia show but if we really want to get technical, there would have been no burnouts. It's nostalgia adapted to a modern era for safety and efficiency. The cars would be a lot slower and the clean up even more cumbersome.
@@CompetitionPlusTVlike I said before they are not Nostalgia dragsters because they don't push start them like they did in the day and another thing they did do burnouts in the day also with them
@@joen5332 - PDA had a 64 car TF race on 1967 where they qualified and raced in one day. How did they do that?
No burnouts - that came in 1969 when the front engine cars were in their last years
@@CompetitionPlusTV they did that at the tracks here where we've been at all our lives and still did burnouts
