Shawn Reed entered the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series event at Darana Raceway hoping to prove he was ready to return to full-time competition after being injured in a Top Fuel crash at Washington’s Pacific Raceways in July.
The multi-time boat racing champion aced that test with flying colors.
Reed qualified third in the eight-car field and dispatched Todd Paton and Jasmine Salinas in
Saturday eliminations and finished the job in Sunday’s finale, blasting down the Ohio dragstrip in 3.819 seconds at 327.75 mph to beat Larry Dixon and secure the $50,000 victory in round three of the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series campaign.
Dan Hicks defeated Del Worsham to win the Funny Car finale.
Round four of the IHRA Nitro Series is Sept. 24-27 at Dragway 42. Watch it LIVE on SPEED SPORT 1
