Dave Connolly Advances to Semifinals; Maintains Hold on Third Place



A disgusted Dave Connolly wasn’t happy with his first-round performance in Sunday’s Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.

And that’s putting it mildly.

Connolly, who qualified the Torco Racing Fuels/Slammers Ultimate Milk Chevy Cobalt fifth (6.655 seconds), was upset by Kurt Johnson and upset at himself for letting it happen. Simply put, Johnson used a quicker reaction time. 017-second to. 069 to reach the finish line first—6.710 seconds at 206.35 mph to Connolly’s 6.664 at 206.91 mph. The winning margin was sixth-thousandths of a second.
