The newly crowned Top Fuel world champion tied NHRA Top Fuel season records for consecutive victories (4) and consecutive final rounds (6). It was Schumacher’s eighth victory of the season and the 29th of his career.

In the process, Schumacher won more than $200,000 for the weekend, including today’s final which paid more than $50,000 including contingency, the $100,000 Budweiser Shootout on Saturday and a $50,000 bonus from NHRA for sweeping both events.

Schumacher drove his U.S. Army dragster to a 4.486 second run at 327.19 mph, to hold off final round opponent Dave Grubnic, who clocked a 4.587 at 324.28 in his StriVectin-SD dragster. In earlier rounds he beat Clay Millican, Brandon Bernstein and Doug Herbert.

“Getting four wins in a row, winning the Bud Shootout, all the other stuff, it starts to blow you away," said Schumacher, who on Friday secured his third world championship title, worth $400,000. “A season is defined by little moments and we had our struggles early on. But starting at Denver we really turned a corner. It's all credit to Alan [Johnson, crew chief]. He’s so good and this team is just great. It was an unbelievable weekend for Schumacher Racing.”
