NHRA New England Nationals Top Dragster winner Deborah DiGenova
Deborah DiGenova successfully defended her 2017 title in the Top Dragster presented by Racing RVs class when she beat Rebecca Miller in an all-female final round. After nearly identical reaction times, DiGenova nailed her dial with a 6.082 on a 6.08 while Miller was also on the money with a 6.844 on her 6.84 prediction. At the stripe, DiGenova was ahead by seven-thousandths of a second. In the semifinal round, DiGenova was nearly perfect with a .006 light and a 6.803 on her 6.80 dial that was too much for opponent Albert Stafferi to overcome.
