Troy Green 2008 Top Fuel Champion
Anaheim, CA - 10-20-08: Highspeed Motorsport's driver Troy Green entered the final race of the season, the California Hot Rod Reunion, leading the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series Top Fuel Points by a slim 3 point margin. After the first round of qualifying Troy sat in the # 3 spot and Murphy set in the # 4 spot. During the last qualifying session Murphy moved up to the # 1 spot but there where several cars yet to run including the High Speed Motor Sports dragster. Brett Harris ran a solid 5.728 to move back into the top spot. That left Troy Green as the last car to run. It would be a solo pass for Green, which turned out to be a jaw dropping peddle job, that the entire crowd was able to clearly hear, as he crossed the strip at 5.722 to take the pole. That gave Troy a 5 point lead in the points and set himself and Murphy on opposite sides of the eliminations ladder. This proved to be the factor that ultimately made the difference in the Championship as Brett Harris was able to beat Murphy in the Semi finials and seal the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series top fuel championship for Green and the HSMS team.

"I just could not be happier for our team and our great sponsors who have stuck by our side through the good and the bad times," said Green. "We are already looking forward to defending the title next year!"

High Speed Motorsports wishes to thank their loyal supporters, both fans and sponsors, for the role they played in helping them win this championship.
