ENNIS, Texas — Top Fuel’s Steve Torrence delivered the fifth-quickest run in NHRA history on Friday and the quickest run in four years, powering to the provisional No. record and career-best run for Torrence, who entered the weekend third in points. “I have so much history here at this racetrack, I grew up racing here,” Torrence said. But you’re going to have to run hard out here to win this race. But I’m super happy – everything turned out really well, and night runs are my favorite. It gave him the $5,000 “Friday Night Live” low qualifier bonus and puts him on track for his 12th No. The points leader made the quickest runs in both sessions on Friday as he also looks for his third straight victory in the Countdown to the Championship.
