GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Clay Millican powered to the No. 1 spot in Top Fuel qualifying Saturday in the AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, the first NHRA Mello Yello event outside of Indianapolis since February.
Millican had a 3.821-second run at 313.51 mph at Gainesville Raceway.
"That was pretty cool," Millican said. "This is a big race and we were proud to go No. 1. We've had the craziest racing gremlins on the car. We've qualified well and haven't raced worth a darn [at Indy]. I lost this race in the final round last year, and that one was my fault.
