Butner, Camp, Green, Beattie Jr., and Vincent Dominate PDRA Drag Wars

Records, upsets, and points swings define Saturday’s PDRA Drag Wars at Darana Motorsports Park in Benson, North Carolina.

Marcus Butner secures back‑to‑back victories in Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous, running 3.628s at 209.20 mph to beat Amber Denton’s 3.643s at 207.46 mph.

The win elevates Butner to the class points lead after Tommy Franklin’s early holeshot exit, sharpening the title narrative entering September’s World Finals at Virginia Motorsports Park.

Butner’s Pat Musi power and Jay Cox tuning now deliver repeatable pace after intensive Rockingham testing resolved early‑season inconsistencies.

Johnny Camp claims his second WS Construction Pro Boost win, emerging from the largest, quickest field on record. His ProCharger‑assisted ’69 Camaro records 3.594 at 210.44 mph to defeat Randy Weatherford.

Camp overcomes points leader Jason Harris in the quarterfinals, benefits from other upsets, and now fronts the championship chase with Brandon Stroud calling a measured, no‑drama tune.

Ron Green captures his first Liberty’s Gears Pro Street national victory, running 3.907 at 197.48 mph to deny top qualifier Tim Essick.

The screw‑blown Firebird is prepared and tuned by Ronnie Green Jr., whose methodical approach stabilizes performance across changing conditions.

J.C. Beattie Jr. adds a third season win in Pro 632, a 4.121 at 174.80 mph over recent winner Ryan Altman.

Beattie Jr. advances past teammate Carson Hoyle in the semifinals, prioritizing consistency while a nearest challenger falls early, expanding his title prospects.

Austin Vincent extends his 1320 Fabrication Super Street lead with a third win, posting 4.512 at 167.91 mph against Troy Hill.

Regular testing underpins Vincent’s steady ETs, while defending champion Connor McGee resets the class record in qualifying but retires with mechanical trouble. Momentum builds from his second win earlier in the season, reinforcing confidence.

Bryan LaFlam wins MagnaFuel Elite Top Sportsman, with Brian Anderson taking Greenbrier Excavating & Paving Elite Top Dragster.

Mike Alexander Jr. prevails in MagnaFuel Top Sportsman 48, and Taylor Holland leads ATI Performance Products Top Dragster 48.

Charlee O’Meara tops Pro Jr. Dragster, with Mason Dudley winning Classic Graphix Top Jr. Dragster.

Edelbrock Bracket Bash goes to Donald Webb, who claims the final on reaction time over a fellow Carolina racer.

Attention now turns to the ProLine Racing Brian Olson Memorial World Finals at Virginia Motorsports Park on September 17–20.

With form swings and reliability central, margins look tight across Pro Nitrous, Pro Boost, Pro Street, Pro 632, and Super Street.
