Larry Dixon raced to his second victory of the season and 50th overall Sunday, beating Antron Brown in the Top Fuel final in the O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park.
Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Jeg Coughlin (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event.


Quote from the article:

Dixon had a 4.541-second pass at 222.36 mph to Brown's 4.638 at 173.32 to move into eighth place on the career victory list, breaking a tie with Don "The Snake" Prudhomme. "That's more than I thought I'd ever do in my lifetime ... and I'm not done living yet," Dixon said. He dedicated the win to 3-year-old son Darien, who was hospitalized earlier in the week with a bacterial infection. "He's a tough, tough kid," Dixon said. "He wanted us to win this race for him and we did. We're going to bring this trophy home to him."
