In a rematch of the Gatornationals Top Fuel final round two weeks ago, Antron Brown evened the score against Tony Schumacher at Sunday’s Denso NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

He’ll take a six-point edge over another DSR colleague, Leah Pritchett, into the April 21-23 Springnationals at Baytown’s Royal Purple Raceway. Brown is third in the standings, 25 off Schumacher’s pace.

LANNY MIGLIZZI'S ART OF BEING ONE WITH THE TRACK

 

Lanny Miglizzi smiles at the comparison.

Miglizzi, the official track specialist for John Force Racing, smiled when his method of operation at NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing brings a stark comparison to Carl, the Groundskeeper in the movie Caddyshack (and played by Billy Murray) and Professor Emmet Brown in Back to the Future (played by Christopher Lloyd).

"That’s fair description," Miglizzi confirmed.
