Our favorite NHRA Funny Car driver gave another outstanding performance last weekend at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. After a 3-hour rain delay last Saturday, Matt set a new Indianapolis track record of 4.001 seconds at 319.22 mph during qualifying rounds when he competed against Napa driver, Ron Capps. This was also Matt’s 4th number 1 qualifier of the season. “It was an incredible run, and it was an awesome deal to be able to do that at Indy,” Hagan said. “It was worth the wait for us. It’s just been a phenomenal year, and it was cool to see the fans so pumped after that. My team does an amazing job, and I’m so glad we could set the track record here.”
Unfortunately Matt was unable to make it past the first round in Monday’s final due to less ideal track conditions than he had raced a few days prior. However, Matt finished the regular season strong and is still the points leader for the start of the Countdown to the Championship Series.
Magneti Marelli Aftermarket ambassador, Charlie Davis, had the opportunity to host customers at the race in Indy last weekend. These customers are valued Mopar Parts and Service Managers who have greatly benefited Magneti Marelli’s Aftermarket All Makes program. The guests and their families were able to tour the pit areas as well as meet Matt Hagan and spend quality time with the Don Schumacher Racing team. Everybody had an amazing time and raved about Matt Hagan’s phenomenal performances this season!
