| 2000 IHRA Funny Car champion Scott Weney won
on Day 3, then finished runner-up to Larry Ericksmoen on the final
day. With a second-place points finish Weney had earned more than
$15,000 by the time the five-day event wrapped up. |
The next day belonged to 21-year-old Nick Folk, from Durand,
IL, who beat Scotty Richardson in the closest final of the event. After
both drivers left with .514 reactions, Folk ran a 7.607 on a 7.60 dial
while Richardson made a 8.019-secs pass on a flat 8.00-secs dial. On
the last day of the event, Weney again made it to the final round, but
his opponent, Larry Ericksmoen, relegated the former IHRA Funny Car
World Champion to runner-up status on Sunday.
Ericksmoen, based in St. Petersburg, FL, also made it
to the final round of the inaugural Jeg's Race of Champions for past
winners and 20-year veterans of the 5-Day Bracket Championships. His
competition was Williamstown, NJ's Shane Carr, who made a .504 start
with a 7.974 pass on a 7.95 dial to narrowly edge Ericksmoen's .509/8.059
on an 8.07 dial.

| Last year's NHRA Pro Stock champ Jeg Coughlin
Jr. entered Moroso's 5-Day Bracket Championships "just to keep the
rust off." As the 1993 5-Day champion, Coughlin was eligible for
the first Jeg's Mail Order Race of Champions, a special race-within-a-race
restricted to past 5-Day winners or drivers who had competed in
each race over the past 20 years. Coughlin made it through Rick
Elliott, Don Strickland, and Jesse Pritchett in the opening rounds,
but his charge ended with a .498 redlight in the quarter-finals
against eventual Race of Champions winner Shane Carr. |
