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? |

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!
