JOLIET, Ill. -- Matt Scranton and Nelson Hoyos raced to victories during the first Street Glow Extreme Rush sport compact exhibition during the Lucas Oil Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway.

Scranton used a significant starting line advantage to race to the Pro RWD victory over George Ioannou. Scranton drove his Turbonetics Celica to a pass of 6.858 seconds at 194.86 mph to hold off Ioannou's StreetGlow Solara, which clocked a run of 6.923 at 207.94, the fastest sport compact speed in NHRA history.

Hoyos clocked a career-best E.T. to take the victory over Jerrold Rhodes, who suffered mechanical problems in the Pro FWD final. Hoyos recorded a run of 8.348 at 181.47 in his Bothwell Motorsports Cavalier to take the easy victory over Rhodes, who slowed to a pass of 18.340 at 57.46 in his Honda CRX.

Scranton and Hoyos each earned a $4,000 bonus by winning the StreetGlow Extreme Rush.

The next StreetGlow Extreme Rush sport compact exhibition will take place October 9-12 during the O'Reilly Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas.
