Steve Torrence wins 4-Wide Nationals for 19th career Top Fuel title

CONCORD, N.C. -- Steve Torrence won the Top Fuel final Sunday in the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals for his series-best third victory of the season.

Torrence had a 3.813-second pass at 326.56 mph at zMAX Dragway to beat Doug Kalitta, Terry McMillen and Clay Millican in the final round. Torrence has 19 career victories.

"Getting the win today is pretty unbelievable, but my team did such a great job with this track and we know that every win is special," Torrence said. "This is a much-needed win because I know some of these competitors are starting to figure it out, so we are going to take as many of these Mello Yello points as we can get in the early-going and try to build a lead in the standings.
