FONTANA, Calif. -- Nearly 500 cars took to the strip at Auto Club Dragway at California Speedway this weekend for the NHRA Jegs SportsNationals presented by K&N. High winds in the area plagued the event throughout the day and only three out of eight categories crowned winners. The other classes will run to completion on Monday.

Justin Lamb, Henderson, Nev., won the Super Stock title. He drove his '07 Cobalt to the win over Palmdale, Calif., racer Darren Smith in his '67 Dart. In Stock Eliminator, Tibor Kadar, Peoria, Ariz., wheeled his '77 Firebird to the winner's circle over former NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League competitor Kyle Rizzoli of San Luis Obispo, Calif. Dwight Downing of Glendale, Ariz., in his '79 Arrow scored the win in Super Street beating out Joe Lokhaug of Bakersfield, Calif., driving his '68 Camaro.

Racers in Comp Eliminator, Super Comp, Super Gas, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster will be back at it in the morning. They are vying for valuable points leading to divisional and national championships.
