28th annual Mopar Mile-High Nationals
July 13-15, 2007
Bandimere Speedway
Morrison, Colo.
“It’s one of my favorite tracks, but I have yet to win a round there. I’m great friends with the Bandimere family. It’s one of our favorite trips on the tour, they put on a great race. It’s always a wild card, but our team is strong and with two cars, our guys will get it figured out. We’re halfway through these six races and Denver is probably the toughest on this swing. I’m excited to race near the West Coast being from Las Vegas . This Western Swing is critical to maintain our position in the Countdown.”
Fuller Denver Notebook
Last weekend at Bristol , Fuller raced his plain white dragster to a semifinal finish, his eighth appearance in the semis this season. He qualified fourth with a run of 4.592 seconds.
He continues to lead the POWERade Top Fuel standings entering the 13th race on the ‘07 NHRA schedule. Fuller leads second-place driver Brandon Bernstein by 74 points and has been atop the standings following nine of 12 races this season.
Last July at Bandimere Speedway, Fuller drove to the No. 8 qualifying position with a run of 4.673 seconds at 316.60 mph. He fell in the opening round to David Baca.

Fuller has advanced to at least the semifinals at eight of 12 races this season with one victory ( Phoenix ) in three final rounds.
