Twenty-five year old Spencer Massey has experienced the Midas Touch in 2008. He'll be looking for the same success during the Jegs All-Star event. (Roger Richards)
Current NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster and IHRA Top Fuel points leader Spencer Massey will be among the favorites to capture
the Top Alcohol Dragster title when the 24th annual JEGS Sportsman Allstars
takes center stage during the Torco Race Fuels Route 66 Nationals at Route 66
Raceway in Joliet, Ill., June 7. Massey, of Ft. Worth, Texas, returns to the
JEGS Allstars race as a blocker after defeating Marty Thacker in one of the most
memorable final rounds of 2007. After an even start, Massey edged Thacker at the
finish line by nine-thousandths of a second.
The JEGS Allstars is a special
event for competitors in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series. Each year, the best
racers in eight categories from each of NHRA’s seven geographic regions meet in
Joliet to compete for individual and team honors and a share of more than
$100,000 in posted awards.
Thus far in 2008, Massey has
reached the final round four times in six starts, including a win at the recent
NHRA national event at Atlanta Dragway. Massey has also logged some runs in a
Top Fuel dragster, collecting two wins at IHRA events.
