Dale Creasy, Jr. was still beaming from his first ever career national event victory three weeks ago at Grand Bend Motorplex. Creasy may want to consider moving north of the border. He won his second consecutive Knoll Gas-Torco Racing Fuels Pro Nitro Funny Car Ironman in Edmonton when he defeated Jack Wyatt in the final.
Creasy posted a 5.324/285.23 pass to dispatch a tire-shaking Wyatt. The victory also gave Creasy the eMax Drag Racing Series Nitro Funny Car championship points lead.
"We left Grand Bend with a lot of confidence in our race car, and then we came up here and couldn't do anything right in qualifying, but we never lost confidence" said Creasy. "We knew that the car had it, so we went back to the Grand Bend tune-up in the final, and everything just came together."
