ANOTHER WIN LIGHT FOR MATT HARTMAN!

Taking on two-time world champ Mark Pawuk and his Dodge Drag Pak in the second round at the 25th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals, young Hartman wheeled his Stanfield Racing Engines-powered Carrier Services Group COPO to victory with a 7.914, 174.03 next to his tire-spinning opponent. Hartman will race Jonathan Allegrucci in the semifinals here at Bristol Dragway!

Heading into Day Last here at Thunder Valley — but before we get into round two of eliminations at the 25th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals (we'll follow round one of the Pros), we've got a quick photo drop for ya! Stay tuned, more action on the racetrack to come.

Mother Nature played nice this evening, and she brought us a beautiful backdrop for the second round of qualifying under the lights at Bristol Dragway. The Flexjet NHRA Factory Stock Showdown cars were the last to go down the dragstrip tonight, and Lee Hartman's 7.914 was the best of the bunch for the Stanfield Racing Engines team. Lee and his Carrier Services Group Dodge Challenger Drag Pak landed the No. 5 spot, with Matt Hartman and the Hartman Racing red, white, and blue COPO No. 7 on a 7.962 at 172. 23. Doug Duell drove his DLD Motorsports Drag Pak to an 8.018 at 175.21 for the No. 9 spot, and David Janac and the Janac Brothers Racing Cobra Jet landed 10th with a best time of 8.026, 174.98 (recorded in the earlier session). Janac clocked an 8.125 in the later round.

Factory Stock Showdown is scheduled for one more round of qualifying late tomorrow morning here at the 25th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals, and then we'll roll right into the first round of eliminations after Pro qualifying is complete. Hats off to all of our steady-handed drivers and crews out there today; the racing surface is new here at Bristol Dragway and took a beating with the rain, the air was hot and thick, and the day stretched long — but these dedicated racers stuck it out and came through with good numbers and solid data to lean into tomorrow. Rest up, the fun has only just begun!
