His six victories here include the last four Western Auto events and Sears Craftsman titles in 1993 and 1994. Wrong, a weeper is a hybrid word for water seeping. Onto the track.

Drivers tend to agree.
In the history of the NHRA, there have been five 4.5s. Flamboyant John Force, the six-time Winston Funny Car champion, is the only Funny Car driver to run in the 4.8s. His 4.889 record was set at Heartland Park last year. Some of the drivers chasing him think that record is in jeopardy. I think we'll see some 4.8s.
