Veteran Pro Stock driver Allen Johnson returned to his throne – at the Mile-High Nationals.

Johnson won the Mile-High Nationals for the seventh time in his career – all since 2007 – defeating Vincent Nobile in the finals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colo., just outside of Denver.

Six feet, six thousand dollars.

That's how much Eddie Krawiec came up short in Sunday's Pro Stock Motorcycle final round of the Mopar Mile-High Nationals near Denver in yet another showdown between the two Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidsons.

The two winningest drivers in their respective classes in NHRA history, John Force and Tony Schumacher, scored historic victories Sunday at the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway near Denver.

Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were winners at the first NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series finals in history to be televised live on a national broadcast network.

Funny Car racer Tim Wilkerson, for the second time this season, has been relegated to his back-up car. 

Wilkerson will not race in Sunday's NHRA Mopar Mile High Nationals final eliminations despite qualifying for the 16-car field.

NHRA announced the angle of the headers on Funny Cars would become standardized starting with the Mopar Mile-High Nationals in Morrison, Colo., outside of Denver.

In a memo issued to teams on July 12, NHRA's tech department said, "Effective immediately the minimum header angle will be 32 degrees. Additionally, there will be a maximum header pipe O.D. of 2.75 inches as well as the I.D. must remain constant beginning 8 inches below the header flange to the exit of the header (i.e. stepdown headers not permitted).”

At the Masters Tournament, golfers play for the privilege of wearing the green jacket.

NHRA drag racers want to end qualifying with a green baseball-style cap.

With every driver in the Pro Stock class taking aim at the dominating KB/Summit Racing trio of Jason Line, Greg Anderson, and Bo Butner, West Texan Chris McGaha said, "I want to be the guy who finally beats the KB Racing cars. I want to be the guy who kicks the leg out and watches the chair fall. I want to be that guy."

But another Texan, young Alex Laughlin, of Granbury, near Fort Worth, got to be that guy Saturday.
