INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – After a couple of recent missteps, Steve Torrence raced back into the Mello Yello spotlight Sunday, driving his Capco Contractors Top Fuel dragster into the winners’ circle at the Dodge NHRA Indy Nationals and moving into second place in points, 83 behind veteran Doug Kalitta.

For the two-time reigning NHRA Top Fuel Champion, his third trip to Lucas Oil Raceway in the last five weeks proved to be a charm.  After losing to his dad, Billy, in the semifinals of the E3 Spark Plugs Nationals and in the first round of the Lucas Oil Summernationals, the talented Texan was able to avoid another family feud en route to his 38^th tour victory and 30^th in the last four-plus seasons.
