Biker Gaige Herrera sweeps the Western Swing, Antron Brown, J.R Todd, Justin Ashley grab Wallys.
Wing-strut failure jeopardized three-time Top Fuel champ Antron Brown during qualifying.The NHRA’s Western Swing is over. The Denso Sonoma Nationals is in the books, and winners Justin Ashley , J.R. Todd , and Gaige Herrera were the toast of Northern California wine country Sunday.
He said that when he saw his win light come on, “I was cussin’ and screamin’ and everything. It was instant relief.” Within about 24 hours, Herrera was cementing his place in Pro Stock Motorcycle lore. Denver winners Clay Millican and Matt Hagan both failed to win at Seattle, leaving Herrera the lone candidate to score what likely is the last Western Swing.

His crew definitely had everything fixed by Sunday morning, thanks to camping-out local Matco Tools distributors provided steak dinners for them in their late-night thrash. Brown, the No. 3 qualifier, defeated first-round opponent Mike Salinas despite Salinas’ best-of-the-meet 335.65-mph speed. Then in the quarterfinals, Brown dashed Brittany Force’s hopes of a repeat victory at Sonoma. He reached the final round by beating points leader Steve Torrence .
So Torrence didn’t forget he was the points leader at the time. He knew all too well what could happen in the next few weeks.
