Easy to answer..They are both habitual holders and were both on the binders. Fletcher was not going to get there to he did what any successful bracket racer would do. You do not follow through an opponent if you are not going to get there. especially when you now they hold numbers as much as you. Little Fletcher was late on the tree Peter had him by a ton and was on the binders to. Just lack of experience or maybe even a failure on the car. Don't think it will change the way he drives, dad has been VERY successful using the same technique.

Question is what if any action did the NHRA take? There is a rule against excessive braking after all. I am curious what if any action they take. IN the end glad it all ended well and it will be a learning experience for Little Fletcher for sure.

Not a fan. That was an idiotic move, period. No congrats for "saving" it, he got lucky, no more. I watched a couple guys get close to balling up two cars ( both not theirs) doing the same thing at the big money bottom bulb race I announced this past weekend, as well as seeing a kid end on the roof at a stock/super stock race last month. I see a bunch of guys at the finish line of most races giggling if they see tire smoke and /or squeal at the stripe. I'll never understand it and don't care to. Maybe if his name wasn't Fletcher he'd be gone for the rest of the season.

Yep. There was a guy disqualified this weekend, at Firebird Raceway here in Idaho, for excessive braking at the finish line. He won the round too. But he was disqualified and the other guy was reinstated.

it was thomas fletcher, dan's son.
I'm sure dad had some input.
Dan Fletcher is the greatest sportsman racer period and Peter Biondo ( Camaro in the other lane) probably second best and they are best friends.

Anyone that bracket races has locked up the brakes at the strip, glad he saved it.
