The tears flowed freely as Doug Herbert exited his Top Fuel dragster.
Doug Herbert and daughter Jessie celebrate his first Top Fuel victory of 2008.
He had finally won one for his boys, his two young sons Jon and James, who died in February in an automobile accident.
Their loving father provided the one tribute he knew would be shared by millions of race fans all over the world.
Herbert delivered a victory during the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment
Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, through sheer determination, the hard work
of his crew and, as he put it, the good luck provided by his 10-year
old daughter Jessica and girlfriend Ginger.
