Jason Line, Cory McClenathan and Tim Wilkerson come up "Big in Vegas"
(top to bottom)
Don Schumacher Racing gets good news after the 100-thousand dollar whack to the wallet...Cory McClenathan breaks a winless streak that dates back to Richmond in 2006...by driving past Antron Brown in the Top Fuel Final with a 4.654 run down the quarter mile. It's Cory Mac's 30th win in 52 final rounds.
Tim Wilkerson picked up the Funny Car win over Ashley Force with a 4.962 run. Ashley takes over the Funny Car point lead, becoming the first female driver to take over the point lead.
Jason Line won one for the sponsor team...Line's win (first of 2008) over Greg Stanfield with a 6.782 in the quarter mile, puts him into a flatfooted tie with defending Powerade Pro Stock Champion Jeg Coughlin, Jr. Line credits the chassis and not the 1,400 horsepower with the win.
The straight line warriors get a break this week before their next event outside Atlanta on April 25-27.
We'll rejoin you on Friday from the "last hurrah" for the Panoz DP-01 Champ Cars...the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
