NHRA LAND OF THE LEADERS RESULTS
Announcement – Land of the Leaders May 10 & 11 Results!
The NHRA Land of the Leaders event at RAD Torque Raceway on May 10 and 11 delivered an action-packed weekend of racing with some incredible performances.
On Saturday, Wes Nystrom of Edmonton, AB claimed the Sportsman win in his historic 1981 GMC Pickup. This truck is no stranger to making headlines—it was the last vehicle to take a pass down Edmonton International Speedway in 1982 and was the very first down our current track in 1992 (Capital Raceway). In the Pro class, Jason Born from Airdrie, AB took the win in his 1988 Chevrolet S-10. Gerry Brown of Sherwood Park, AB earned the Super Pro victory behind the wheel of his 1971 Dodge Demon.
Sunday brought even more excitement. Kevin Lupien from Surrey, BC captured the Sportsman win driving a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 RT that he borrowed from fellow competitor Lance Cherchuk—then went on to beat him in the final. Cherchuk didn’t go home empty-handed, though, as he secured the Pro class win with his 1970 Plymouth Duster. Gerry Brown returned to the winner’s circle in Super Pro, marking the first ever back-to-back race weekend win at RAD Torque Raceway.
Congratulations to all the drivers on an unforgettable weekend of racing. The next NHRA Land of the Leaders race at RAD Torque Raceway is coming up on Saturday, May 31—don’t miss it!
