The rivalry between Wayne Baker and Mike Finnegan adds an extra layer of excitement as they race for the coveted trophy, with each driver pushing the limits of their machines to emerge victorious. From Cole Ponet's spirited run in the Gun Lake Casino Lane to Bryant Goldstone's record-breaking performance at a staggering 216 mph, this episode is a testament to the relentless pursuit of speed and glory on the drag strip.
