REPEATS AS POWERFEST CHAMPION IN TOP ET
Creech Wins Footbrake, Whisnant Scores in Jr. Dragster at
Rockingham Event
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – McLeansville’s T.G. Paschal waited out the
weather and won the Top ET title Sunday in a rain-shortened
Yuengling beer Carolina Powerfest 9 at Rockingham Dragway.
Paschal, a 2020 Powerfest winner and the 2018 Carolina
Coalition Series Champion, beat Shawn Carpenter in the final
and taking down 2020 Rockingham Jr. Dragster track champion
Hayden Dial of Lumberton two rounds earlier. Paschal’s .010
final round reaction time forced Carpenter into a breakout
foul. The Elm City driver missed his target by .002 of a
second.
The other winners were Clayton’s Tucker Creech, who edged
Jonathan Surratt of Alexis by .016 of a second, in the
Footbrake final, and Gavin Whisnant of Dallas, who grabbed the
Jr. Dragster title when final round opponent Nickole
Cayton-Dabney of Troy, Va., also committed a breakout foul.
