History was made this past weekend at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals as a pair of Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> Dodge Drag Paks made it to the final round of the Factory Stock Showdown during Sunday\u2019s eliminations. The four Challenger Drag Paks entered for the event also claimed the top four qualifying spots out of a field of 26 entries that included some heavy-hitters and record-breakers.<\/p>\n

In the Stock and Super Stock classes, it was a pair of classic 1965\u00a0HEMI\u00ae<\/sup>-powered Dodge Coronet\u00a0\u201cA990\u201d package cars that ran fast\u00a0and hard and went to the finals. With\u00a0their high-horsepower 426\u00a0HEMI\u00a0engine, featuring dual Holley Carburetors mounted on a cross-ram intake\u00a0manifold, lightweight body panels and massive hood scoop, the 1965 Dodge Coronet A990\u00a0package cars\u00a0quickly earned a reputation on race tracks across\u00a0America for over 50 years and the\u00a0tradition continues today.<\/p>\n

During the Stock Eliminator final, Todd Hoven from Milltown, New Jersey, drove his\u00a01965 AA\/SA Dodge\u00a0HEMI\u00a0Coronet to a Stock Eliminator victory during the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. Hoven, who has a prior NHRA national event win and\u00a0numerous\u00a0divisional finals to his credit, was consistent all weekend. Hoven has been racing in the Stock\u00a0Eliminator\u00a0category since 1997 and has also competed in a Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak. In the\u00a0final\u00a0round, Hoven’s Coronet had the starting line advantage\u00a0over his opponent and ran a right on his 10.08 ET dial-in. Hoven is also a first-time recipient of the Dodge Top\u00a0Finisher award.<\/p>\n

For the Super Stock category, lifelong Mopar racer Bob Marshall wheeled his 1965 SS\/AA Dodge\u00a0HEMI\u00a0Coronet to the runner-up finish at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. The Columbus, Ohio,\u00a0resident has been racing his\u00a0\u201cDodge Material\u201d HEMI\u00a0Dodge Super Stockers for many decades and has earned numerous wins at the national event and divisional level. This was Marshall\u2019s\u00a0first Dodge Top\u00a0Finisher award as he raced through six rounds of intense eliminations against some of the toughest drivers in the class.<\/p>\n

Many of our Dodge\/Mopar grassroots racers will take next weekend off before heading to Epping, New Hampshire, for the NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway. They will once again burn some rubber with their HEMIs, Max Wedges, big blocks and even small blocks while going rounds and racing for the glory of winning an NHRA national event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
