Final round-by-round results from the 22nd annual O'Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals
presented by Castrol Syntec at Texas Motorplex, the 20th of 23 events in the
NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series:

Pro Stock Motorcycle newcomer Peggy Llewellyn won her first NHRA national event
at a critical juncture in the season, pushing her way into the Countdown to One
field by the slenderest of margins Sunday evening.

The San Antonio-based rider shared a somber Texas
Motorplex winner's circle with new POWERade points leaders Larry Dixon and Tony
Pedregon, as well as Pro Stock juggernaut Dave Connolly, who collected his
fourth trophy in a row, at the 22nd annual O’Reilly NHRA Fall
Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec.

The mood of the day was tempered greatly by an
accident involving John Force, who suffered a broken left ankle and wrist and
numerous abrasions, and Kenny Bernstein. Force was airlifted to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Dixon used his third victory of the season to
take the Top Fuel lead in the Countdown to Four. The driver of the SkyTel
dragster was ready for the final, leaving with a .059-second reaction time.
Final-round foe Bob Vandergriff was close behind in his UPS rail, taking off in
.065 seconds, but his car was soon smoking its tires, allowing Dixon to take the 41st win
of his career in 4.629 at 310.91 mph.

John Force and Kenny Bernstein were involved in a two-car crash during
the second round of Funny Car eliminations at the NHRA Fall Nationals
in Dallas, Texas.

Bernstein was uninjured in the crash. Force, with multiple injuries to
his extremities, was alert and speaking with medical personnel before
transport to Baylor University Medical Center for observation.

NHRA EMS official Dwight Shewchuk said that John Force was alert and
conscious but none of his injuries appeared life threatening.

“From the time we got there until we got him in the helicopter, he was
conscious,” Shewchuk said. “He does have some serious injuries to his
hand and his legs. Those will require extensive work up and treatment.
Nothing appears life-threatening at this time. Those are significant
injuries and they are going to take him to Baylor Hospital in Dallas
where he will be further evaluated and treated.”

The finalists for the Torco’s CompetitionPlus.com Pro Stock Showdown have been
confirmed. The Showdown will take place next weekend at Maryland International
Raceway during the Torco Racing Fuels President’s Cup Nationals.

Heading into this weekend’s race at
Milan Dragway, the only driver with a mathematical chance to get into the
Showdown was Rickie Smith. However, when John Nobile qualified No. 9 for the
Suzuki Motor City Nationals, he shut the door on Smith’s
chances.

Dale Creasy Jr., Beecher,
Ill., earned his sixth win of the Knoll Gas Nitro Funny Car
season to clinch his second-consecutive IHRA world championship, with two events
remaining in the season. Creasy Jr. defeated Bob Gilbertson in the Suzuki Motor
City Nationals presented by GM Performance Division and Heritage Newspapers
final round on a holeshot advantage to win the
race.
