Johnson Jr. wins Mile-High NHRA Nationals

MORRISON, Colo. -- Tommy Johnson Jr. raced to his second Funny Car victory of the season Sunday in the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway.

Johnson beat Bob Tasca in the final with a 4.102-second run at 308.50 mph in his Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Johnson has 19 career victories.

"We made a great run last night -- my quickest and fastest ever on the mountain -- and it gave the guys confidence," Johnson said. "I knew going into today we had a good racecar and my guys did a great job. We're a much better team now and we've grown so much as a team, so it's good to get it done.
