    Larry Dixon raced to his sixth Top Fuel victory of the season at the rain-delayed NHRA SuperNationals on Monday.

    Bob Tasca, Mike Edwards and Michael Phillips also won their divisions in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

    Dixon drove his dragster to a 3.824-second run at 320.05 mph for his 54th career victory, beating Antron Brown, who finished second for the second straight year after his dragster lost traction midway through the run.

    "Trophies like these -- what I call the majors -- always shine a little brighter for me," Dixon said after winning for the sixth time at the historic track. "This race, Indy, Pomona, Gainesville, and even Columbus back then, you want to do well. I feel blessed to be able to race well on tracks like these."
