GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MADDI GORDON secured her maiden Top Fuel victory in just her 10th professional start, running 3.786-seconds at 333.16 mph to defeat Antron Brown despite leaving second off the line.
- The 22-year-old became NHRA’s eighth female Top Fuel winner, advancing through Spencer Massey, Tony Stewart, and points leader Shawn Langdon who’d reached six consecutive finals prior.
- GORDON’s breakthrough capped a family sweep as father Doug won in sportsman ranks while boss Ron Capps took his 80th Funny Car victory, marking the team’s first dual-category sweep.
- The Paso Robles native jumped to fourth in championship standings during her debut season after Capps tapped her for the 12,000-horsepower Carlyle Tools dragster ride one year ago.
