L.E. Tonglet, the runaway NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle leader throughout the summer, took a back seat to Eddie Krawiec once the Countdown began and lost to the Vance & Hines team last weekend at Reading, Pa.
But he returned the favor Sunday at Gateway Motorsports Park, at Madison, Ill., beating Krawiec’s teammate, Andrew Hines, in the final round of the AAA Insurance Midwest Nationals. In earning his sixth victory of the season, he cooled down the hot Harley-Davidson duo and reasserted himself into the championship scramble.
