RINGERS GLOVES WEEKEND WRAP-UP: Denver

 

 
Denver – (July 19, 2004) The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) returned to 
action and ventured to the mountains of Colorado at Bandimere Speedway over 
the weekend.
 
   Rains on Friday forced NHRA to scrap the day and make two full rounds of 
qualifying on Saturday.   
 
   The Ringers teams of Greg Anderson (KB Racing Summit Pro Stock), Whit 
Bazemore (Don Schumacher Racing Matco Tools Funny Car) and Brandon Bernstein (Bud 
King Racing Top Fuel Dragster) all sat atop of the Low Qualifier ladder come 
Saturday night.
 
   But Anderson was the only driver to make it to the final round out of the 
Low Qualifiers on Sunday.
 
   Bazemore went out first round in an upset to Australian driver Robert 
Schwab.
 
   Bernstein made it to the semifinals before he fell to eventual Mopar Mile 
High Nationals winner Scott Kalitta.
 
   Bazemore’s teammate, Tony Schumacher (Don Schumacher Army Top Fuel 
Dragster) represented Ringers in the finals, but also fell victim to Kalitta.
 
   Cruz Pedregon (Pedregon Racing Advance Auto Parts Funny Car) advanced to 
his first final round of the year, but was beat out by the Checker Schucks 
Kragen blue driver, Phil Burkart Jr.
 
   Greg Anderson kept his hot streak going, making his 10th POWERade Winner’s 
Circle visit of the year.
 
   Anderson beat out fellow Ringers driver Larry Morgan (Don Schumacher 
Racing Mopar Pro Stock) with a holeshot, 7.194/191.92 mph run to Morgan’s 
7.199/192.06 mph run.
