MOHNTON, Pa. -- Ron Capps broke both ends of the Funny Car track record Friday in qualifying for the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Nationals.
Capps had a 3.837-second pass at 339.28 mph in a Dodge Charger to break the Maple Grove Raceway time and speed marks in the first race of the NHRA Countdown to the Championship playoffs.
"We knew there was a lot there," Capps said. "Then we saw a high .80 (run) by (Bob) Tasca and a couple 90s and it paid off being at the back of the pack. We have the new Hellcat body and we really trimmed it out.
