BRAINERD, Minn.: Steve Torrence won at Brainerd International Raceway on Sunday, giving him a least one victory at every track on the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series circuit.

The points leader and three-time defending Top Fuel champion drove to his seventh victory of the year and 47th overall, beating Clay Millican in the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals with a 3.712-second run at 323.74 mph.

I did everything possible to screw it up all the way until the final when I finally got my head out of my butt, Torrence said. That was a heck of a race against Clay and those guys are coming on strong right now.

“This team, they continue to save me when I need it, I help them when they need it, and were at the front and staying there. Its just a blessing to be here and to have this opportunity is truly special. To say Ive won every race on the circuit, I just remember dreaming of winning one race.

Matt Hagan won in Funny Car, beating Cruz Pedregon with a 3.923 at 327.98 in a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat for his second victory of the season and 38th overall.
