The 2007 Season Winner
FUNNY CAR RACER WILKERSON CLAIMS $25,000 WHO GOT THE LIGHT? AWARD FOR 2007
GLENDORA, Calif. – Funny Car racer Tim Wilkerson won the $25,000 Motel 6 Who Got the Light? Award for the 2007 season with his .0013-second margin of victory over Tony Pedregon during the second round of Funny Car eliminations at the Torco Racing Fuels NHRA Nationals, Oct. 7 at Virginia Motorsports Park near Richmond, Va. Wilkerson and Gary Scelzi tied for recording the overall narrowest margin of victory for the season, both with a .0013-second MOV. Wilkerson’s victory for the season-long title was determined via tie-breaker, which awards the title to the driver with the lowest average MOV for all elimination rounds during the 2007 season. Wilkerson, from Springfield, Ill., who drives the Levi Ray & Shoup Chevy Impala, is the second Funny Car driver to win the season award. Cruz Pedregon claimed it in 2005. All other season winners have come from Pro Stock, including Richie Stevens, Steve Johns, Scott Geoffrion, Larry Morgan and Jim Yates.
