Dan Northrop, the 2000 Super Gas world champ and Super Comp winner in Charlotte earlier this season, got to add another victory to his resume when Steve Furr, fourth in the standings following the event, broke out of the 9.90 index by five-thousandths in the last round of the weekend for the category (Dan Northrop, Vega, 9.910, 141.62 def. Steve Furr, Camaro, 9.895, 151.20). On his way to the finale, Northrop drove his '75 Vega to victories over a group of worthy competitors, including former division champion and IHRA standout Rusty Cook in the first round and previous Pro Stock heavy-hitter and multi-category winner Dave Connolly in the quarterfinals for the bye run into the title round.

The Elite Racing Team and driver Jason Meyers announced today that it will partner with Allstar Performance, a division of Lane Automotive, for the 2010 Knoxville Nationals coming up August 11-14.
