Trey Sikes
bid to
repeat as
Sportsman
champion in
the National
Hot Rod
Diesel
Association
Carolina
Nationals at
Rockingham
Dragway fell
just short
Sunday when
the Hamlet,
N.C., driver
was upended
in the
semifinals
by eventual
race winner
John Boger
of
Hillsborough,
N.C.
Boger, who
drove his
2001 Ford
past Tyler
Radewald’s
Tennessee-based
Chevrolet in
the final,
used a .085
starting
line
advantage to
get past
Sikes and
his 2010
Volkswagen
Jetta in the
semifinals.
That
effectively
negated
Sikes’ .065
of a second
performance
advantage.
Other
winners in
the drag
racing phase
of the event
included
Michael
Dalton of
Cookville,
Tenn., in
Super
Diesel,
Micah
Sullivan of
Stanford,
Ky., in
Super
Street, Mark
House of
Bealetown,
Va., in Pro
Street and
Daniel
Pierce of
Big Spring,
Texas, in
Pro Stock.
In
qualifying,
Sullivan
recorded the
quickest
time in
Super Street
history at
9.355
seconds but
blew the
engine in
his 1997
Dodge and
couldn’t
provide the
back-up run
within one
percent
required for
national
record
certification.
The quickest
he ran on
race day was
9.537, just
off the
existing
9.523
record.
Eric
Whitfield of
Anderson,
S.C.,
doubled-up
in the sled
pulling
phase of the

Ga., won in

Shine title
with his
1997 Ford
Powerstroke
