\u201cThis is flat out incredible right now,\u201d said an exuberant Reed at the top end. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to think ahead because you haven\u2019t done anything. I have to thank Red Line Oil, Matco Tools, All American Automotive. Thanks to all the fans. Man, it\u2019s been great with all these people out here. I\u2019m more than blessed right now, and I\u2019m probably happy as I\u2019ve been in a long, long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy for my crew guys. They put up with a lot last year. I lost a lot of races for them,\u201d said Reed. \u201cWe won a race, and they can\u2019t take that back from us. And this is a pretty big race, too, by the way, it\u2019s the eight best, guys in the NHRA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three-time Funny Car world champion Capps was looking to stop the Funny Car driver with the most momentum heading into the final in Austin Prock. As the defending event winner and reigning Funny Car champion Prock was looking to go back-to-back in Bradenton, but Capps and crew chief Dean \u201cGuido\u201d Antonelli took the win in a spectacular final round. Capps turned on the win light with a 3.870 second run at 330.47 mph to get to the stripe first in front of Prock\u2019s 4.003 second, 316.60 mph pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the top end Capps was overjoyed and surprised to realize he had stopped one of the hottest drivers in the category. Nice new-look NAPA Auto Care Toyota GR Supra started the season with three win lights and a trip to the PRO Superstar Shootout winner\u2019s circle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event is special. It\u2019s the second year we\u2019ve done anything like this, but you have an all-star cast,\u201d said Capps. \u201cBack in the day, as a kid, you know, I read about the Orange County races and all the stuff, where everybody showed up. This SCAG PRO Superstar Shootout is what it\u2019s all about. A lot of our sponsors are big supporters of this event, so thank you, SCAG, for putting all that money up. We\u2019re gonna love it, but our NAPA guys, (crew chief) Guido. I cannot say enough about how hard he\u2019s worked, and this is the fruit of our team\u2019s labor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The professional final rounds started with Pro Stock showcasing the young talent of Cory Reed, driving for KB Titan Racing and Troy Coughlin Jr. representing Elite Motorsports. Reed, a second-year Pro Stock driver, was looking for his first career win after a dominating performance on the track over the past two days. Coughlin Jr. secured the win immediately when Reed jumped the starting system, forcing a red-light disqualification. His winning time was a pedestrian 11.859 seconds at 121.67 mph after his yellow JEGS Chevrolet Camaro overpowered the track just as he was passing the Christmas Tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know winning this race is so surreal,\u201d said Coughlin Jr. \u201cI haven\u2019t even really let it sink in yet. We\u2019re gonna enjoy this. Thank you to the PRO group, and all the sponsors involved especially SCAG. This was a huge win and it\u2019s a great way to start the season. Cory is a great guy and a tough competitor, and this class is awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
