Bob Tasca III, Gaige Herrera take early leads after one of five qualifying rounds at 'The Big Go.'
By NHRA Media ServiceFour-time Top Fuel champion Steve Torrence made the quickest run on Friday at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, racing to the Top Fuel provisional No. 1 position at the 69th annual Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals.
“This is a huge confidence builder,” Torrence said. “You have to come to Indy and be ready to endure it, and today is the longest day. Everybody likes to see these things at night and fire coming out of them. It's just exciting and it adds a different element to it. We all say we're riding on fire-breathing dragons, but until the nighttime, you don't get to see it.
Tasca’s strong summer in Funny Car continued on Friday, powering to the top in the loaded category with a run of 3.864 at 324.90 in his 11,000-horsepower Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang. If that holds, Tasca would earn his fifth No. 1 qualifier in what has been a strong season for the veteran. Currently fourth in points, Tasca has a chance to move into third with a strong weekend that will also include a spot in Sunday’s Pep Boys NHRA All-Star Funny Car Callout.
“Sometimes you get all of it and it's sketchy, but I felt it like it was planted all the way down the racetrack. Tomorrow is a new ballgame. I think you're going to have to step up to hold onto it, but the good news is that we've got a package that we can definitely step up for tomorrow night.
