ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. – Greg Stanfield fought his way into the Pro Stock semifinals of Sunday’s NHRA SuperNationals and moved into second place in the Full Throttle Drag Racing Series point standings.
Stanfield’s opening-round win over Greg Anderson and a quarter-final decision over Shane Gray enabled him to swap places with Anderson. Stanfield has 585 points to 571 for Anderson. Jason Line is the leader with 642.
The driver of the Nitro Fish/Coffman Tank Trucks GXP used a strong .019-second reaction time to post a hole-shot decision over Anderson, 6.570 seconds at 210.05 mph to 6.568 at 210.97.
Stanfield left first against Gray and never looked back, stopping the timer at 6.566, 210.70 to Gray’s 6.587 at 211.03. Allen Johnson ended Stanfield’s day in the semifinals, getting out first and just holding off Stanfield’s 6.559 at 210.87 with a 6.555 at 210.70.
“Overall, it was a good day for us,” said crew chief Eddie Guarnaccia. “We won some important rounds and that made a difference in the point chase. We were able to try some different things during the weekend and learn from it.”
The team’s next outing is at Bristol, Tenn., June 12-14.
