Dan Fletcher won Super Street and this is his 100th victory! Only the 3rd driver to do so in NHRA history. You da man, Dan.

I was hanging around the Winner's Circle in Pomona and joked with Dan that he should pay me to attend races because it seems like he wins every event I am at, and seems to have a shot to double up at many of them. As I had just introduced myself and he had no idea who I was, he probably thought I was crazy LOL.

Pretty humble interview yesterday too, such an amazing racer.

Dan is always humble. Dan lives near me, his dad and mine raced at the same local tracks during the same era, Hard to believe he is now only the 3rd racer in history to hit 100 wins. Congrats Dan!!

A monumental achievement.

He had a column in National Dragster some years ago. It was always a good read, but I always thought he was a bit too hard on himself.

Might be why he won a 100 races...

There is a common trait among the truly great. That trait is they hate losing more than they love winning. The losses stick with them much, much longer than the wins.

 

[DrRocket]

I understand that. I do. But even when he won, he'd write things like "I won the race in spite of my best effort to give it away..."

And now, 101. Congrats Dan!

I believe he is one of the greatest drag racers ever for what he has accomplished.

I wonder how many miles he has driven over the years when you consider where his home his?
