Congrats to Duane Shields for winning the Regional event in Virginia. It was a tough field just to qualify for as 17 cars tried to jam into an eight car field! Good job Duane!

Didn't he lose his tuner from last year too (Hopewell)? If so ... a VERY impressive win for Shields this weekend.

Tough field is an understatement. Look at the caliber of cars that were present. 8 of the top 17 dragsters in the country last year. Throw in 11 Funny Cars to boot. If you like Alky cars, this was the Lucas race to be at.

The dragster DNQ's included ...

• Chase Copeland (#10 last year)
• Sidnei Frigo
• Karen Stalba (2011 D1 Champ)
• Dan Page (#4 in D1 last year. Gallant power always a factor)
