Stevie “Fast” Jackson was scheming on Friday night. His plotting wasn’t anything unethical or underhanded; he simply didn’t want to race his “teammate” Marcus Birt anytime before the final round, at the Duck X Productions Magic Eight event in Orlando, Fla.
Headed into the sixth and final qualifying session, Jackson was third while the nitrous car he tunes, piloted by Marcus Birt was at the top of the list. If he dropped one spot in the order, he could fall to fourth, and the two would be on a course to possibly meet in the semis.
Jackson could have tried to be on the safe side, but finishing second in anything isn’t the way he rolls. In true “Stevie Fast” form the popular doorslammer racer swung his bat and delivered a shot into the upper deck with a 3.582 elapsed time at 210.93 miles per hour.

A forgetful person might slip up if they’ve driven as many types of cars that Craig Sullivan has in recent years.
He’s raced in three categories, all with different types of power adders to boost the horsepower potential of each vehicle’s engine.
Hopping from one seat to another isn’t as simple as it might seem. After all, a car’s a car, right? But each power adder Sullivan has used has unique characteristics that require razor-sharp focus. There was a learning curve for each, just as was the case for other drivers who have tried all three boosters, including Pro Modified standout Todd Tutterow and former PDRA Pro Boost world champ Kevin Rivenbark.
