In one of the greatest driving moments in U.S. Nationals history, Alex Laughlin deftly avoided rear-ending Justin Shriefer, who had crossed the centerline ahead of him during the fourth Funny Car qualifying session of the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals.
Schriefer crossed the centerline just past midtrack and right in front of Laughlin. Schreifer dumped the chutes right into Laughlin’s windshield, and Laughlin, going faster than Schreifer, deftly swerved to the left to avoid a rear-end collision, momentarily putting his car on two wheels. It was a driving tour de force for Laughlin, whose Funny Car wheel time probably comprises fewer than 100 runs
“There’s not a whole lot that gets my heart racing like that,” said Laughlin, who has also raced in Top Fuel, Pro Stock, Pro Mod, and a host of other classes. “That’s gonna take a moment to settle. You just go into survival mode. I’m not saying I’m the best driver there ever, but I’m a Swiss Army knife.”
