Hagan nearly breaks Bandimere Speedway track record; Antron Brown, Erica Enders, Hector Arana Jr. also Fast Friday
Funny Car points leader Matt Hagan just missed out on a track record, powering to the provisional No. 1 qualifier position in front of a sold-out crowd on Friday at the 43rd annual and final Dodge Power Brokers NHRA Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway.
“It’s a lot going on in there, but Dickie Venables is a hell of a crew chief,” Hagan said. “That’s what we’re supposed to do. It’s a Dodge race and we’ve got the car in the No. 1 spot. We want to keep that up and see what we can do tomorrow. A big thank you to all the fans that came out here today and this weekend. It’s such an emotional weekend, but we’re going to put on a heck of a show for these fans.
"Everything is different on the mountain," Brown said. "When you leave the starting line, you know don't have the power you do at all the other tracks we go to. But that run there, it felt real good. We got to half-track and I felt that thing was lit on all eight , and I felt it arch up and I was like, oh we're on a run. I looked at the scoreboard and saw that 3.78 and I said oh there we go. That's the run we've been looking for.
