WELLS, CHESTERMAN LAND VICTORIES IN BRAINERD

        BRAINNERD, Minn.- David Wells of Lemars, Iowa takes his first win
of the season in Federal-Mogul Dragster, as Cy Chesterman of Sioux City,
Iowa takes the top spot in Federal-Mogul Funny Car.  
        Wells posted a final pass of 5.642 seconds at 251.14 mph as Mark
Kinser of Grimes, Iowa red lit handing Wells the victory at the starting
line.  
        "So far this season we've been struggling, we played with the
clutch set up all weekend and still didn't get it right," said Wells.  "We
shook the tires so bad I didn't see the win light until half way down the
track."  
        Chesterman was caught sleeping at the tree while Glenwood, Iowa's
Kirk Williams better reaction time had him losing traction and off the pad
and swerved towards the wall forcing him to lift.  Chesterman also shook
the tires off the line and never appeared to have the car at full power the
entire run.  
        "It was trouble from the word go," said Chesterman.  "We shook the
tires off the line and when I pedaled it, the blower belt shredded itself. 
We're just lucky to be the first to cross the line today"
