I believe I heard him say the SST trophy was the 51st national event in the 69.
Congrats on 98 Dan, hoping to see 100 before the end of the year.

Nice job Dan! I'm looking forward to seeing that 100th win. It's such a huge accomplishment. Truly amazing work!

Just curious, when was the last time someone double checked the number of wins? Does the NHRA have an accurate database somewhere?

Rank Name Career Wins
1 John Force 143
2 Frank Manzo * 105
3 Dan Fletcher 98
4 Warren Johnson 97
5 David Rampy 91
* Retired or Inactive Driver

WOW that's truly remarkable look who just passed.

What's really astonishing is that unlike the vehicle performance advantage which Force, Manzo and Johnson enjoyed at times over their competition, Dan hardly ever has that. He gave a nice trackside interview after winning #98 at Joliet.

What is also amazing is that’s probably almost twice as many rounds compared to the pros 4 rounds. Just WOW!

I'm sure you are correct George, nearly every Sportsman race is 6 or 7 rounds.

Someone should break out the number of wins Dan has with the '69 Camaro, regardless of what eliminator it ran in. I believe it has more wins than any other race car................... ever.

Thank you very much everyone. It was fun foot braking my way to a win is SS against some very tough competition. And my sons actually doubled up at the IHRA race at Pittsburgh on Saturday in Stock and 10.90, so it was a pretty awesome weekend!
