Hutto Clinches Top Four in Houston

 

SPRING, TX. (Jun. 27, 2020): Following last weeks NHRA divisional event in Houston, Justin Hutto and company officially clinched the #4 position in NHRA South Central division points within the highly competitive Competition Eliminator category. Going forward, Hutto can secure the #1 spot in the South Central division with a victory at his next NHRA Divisional in Topeka, KS, July 23-26.

During the rainy race weekend in Houston, Hutto qualified 10th in a stout 21-car field in Comp with a 6.82 @ 195 mph lap. Ultimately, he fouled out with a 0.002 second red light against the higher qualified, Sean Dodd. Hutto took an aggressive approach with his NGK powered, Mobil 1™ lubricated B/DA dragster, posting a .006 and perfect .000 light in his previous two shots.

 

 

Hutto also made a valiant effort in his NGK Spark Plugs and Mobil 1™ lubricants equipped ’69 Corvette Stingray in Stock Eliminator, coming up short by .007 seconds against semi-finalist Phillip Giles. He now sits #15 out of 86 in Stock Eliminator South Central division points.
