Torrence races to second straight Top Fuel win

COMMERCE, Ga. -- Steve Torrence raced to his second straight Top Fuel victory Sunday in the Arby's NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.

Torrence, the defending season champion whose first career Top Fuel victory came in Atlanta in 2012, beat Brittany Force in the final with a 3.863-second pass at 320.20 mph. Torrence has 29 career victories, three at the track.

"When you have a group of guys that stick together and that continuity is there, that's the reason for success," Torrence said. "As a driver, I need to do my job and give them the best driving ability I possible can because they're giving me the best race car they possibly can.
