Stanton Dominates ADRL PX in Season-Opener at STL

MADISON, Ill. – Bubba Stanton dominated from pillar to post in the season opener of the CBD American Shaman 2021 ADRL Tour Saturday night at World Wide Technology Raceway outside of St. Louis, taking the Minuteman trophy in the Carolina Precision Machining Pro Extreme class against Missouri native Jon Stouffer.

In one of the best races of the Aegis Home Protection ADRL Gateway Drags presented by dragracingforkids.org, Stanton edged Stouffer in the final round, his 3.644-second pass at 209.14 mph topping Stouffer’s run of 3.681 seconds at 204.29 mph. Both laps were the quickest of the weekend for both drivers, with Stanton’s run topping his Q3 pole-winning ET of 3.657 seconds.

“It’s been a long road to get here,” Stanton said during the Winner’s Circle celebration after the race. “We’ve struggled, but the car just ran good all weekend. It was a pretty good weekend. You gotta go with the flow and keep on going with it. These are some of the best guys to go up against. They’re fast. You just gotta be on your game for every pass.”

Mike Bell, driving for legendary drag racer Roy Hill who was injured in a starting line incident last month at zMAX Dragway in Concord, N.C., earned an emotional victory in the Walco Funding Extreme Pro Stock finals. In another close side-by-side race, Bell’s 4.138-second run at 172.59 mph beat Scott Benham’s 4.236-second lap at 171.75 mph.

It was a wild first round of eliminations, as class top qualifier John DeFlorian Jr. red-lit against Jordan Ensslin, whose 2008 Cobalt went sideways on the hit. Ensslin would go out in the next round against Benham. In another E1 upset, No. 7 qualifier Doug Kirk barely edged out No. 2 qualifier Brad Waddle with a .006-second margin of victory.
