The second to last race of the season. And you have everyone from the president of Mopar here to all the people beyond us that are out here for SEMA. It\u2019s one you need to win. We had some lady luck on our side this weekend and it all worked out. I can\u2019t thank everyone that makes this possible enough. It was just a phenomenal job by (crew chief) Dickie Venables and my guys. We just won the Dodge NHRA Nationals and we can\u2019t wait to get to Pomona.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
