    Spencer Massey's return from a year-long driving hiatus keeps getting better.

    Massey edged teammate Tony Schumacher in the final elimination round to win the Top Fuel dragster division at the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway on Sunday.

    Part of the Don Schumacher racing team with Schumacher's son, Massey hit 269.67 mph and covered the 1,000-foot straight-line course in 4.150 seconds in his nitro-fueled dragster for his fifth career victory and third this season.

    "It was tough sitting back and watching on the sidelines for so long," said Massey, the NHRA's rookie of the year in 2009 who lost his first driving job when team owner Don Prudhomme closed up shop.
