TORRENCE PURSUES ANOTHER TITLE
_Four-Time World Champ Launches Latest Bid from No. 9 Starting Position _
READING, Pa. – In a season in which he opted to sit out four events including the three immediately prior to the Labor Day
U.S. Nationals, Steve Torrence sends his CAPCO Contractors Top Fuel Toyota into this week’s 40th Reading Nationals, the first of six events in the NHRA’s Countdown to the Championship, as the No. 9 qualifier.
It’s the first time in 11 years the future Hall of Famer will start the playoffs from outside the top five and it means he’ll put his hot rod on the starting line Friday at Maple Grove Raceway trailing regular season champion Tony Stewart by 99 points but with a chance to make more racing history.
