The new Tony Stewart Racing team got its first No. 1 qualification and track record at the Arizona Nationals on Saturday after Matt Hagan made the fastest Funny Car run in four years.
He had a 3.823-second run at 333.41 mph in his Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to grab his first No. 1 spot of the season and 44th of his career. He ran the fastest run ever at Wild Horse Pass.
It is fun to drive. I knew if it stuck, it was going to run well, but these cars are a handful to drive. Tony Stewart put this organization together over the winter. We have a lot of new parts and pieces, but they have done a great job of giving us the parts and the resources, and I see a lot of good things going for this team.
Kyle Koretsky was the fastest in Pro Stock while Doug Kalitta took the top spot in Top Fuel.
The 57-year-old Kalitta had his first No. 1 qualification since the beginning of the year.
Koretsky ran a 6.520 at 210.21 in his Chevrolet Camaro to take the top spot in the final session.
