MADISON, IL – Alex Hossler’s first American Drag Racing League (ADRL) win 10 months ago ended with the Pro Extreme driver crossing the finish line with his car on fire in one of more memorable ADRL finishes. In Hossler’s eyes, however, the Canton, IL native topped himself on Saturday during the Hardee’s Gateway Drags III at Gateway International Raceway (GIR). With more than 100 friends, family and co-workers looking on, Hossler was never better and it paid off with his second career ADRL PX win. His ’71 Camaro went a Saturday-best 3.69 at 203 miles per hour, beating Gaylen Smith in an entertaining final before a massive overflow crowd at GIR.

“(The 3.69) put quite the exclamation point on the coolest win I’ve ever had,” Hossler said. “I don’t know how I could have made it any better. “There is no race I would rather win. This is definitely the highlight of my ADRL career. This has been great, to share this experience with all the people I care about.”

I know how to cope with pressure.” Al-Thani has done it well in his short ADRL racing career, picking up his second win in just five ADRL races.

He wasn’t the only ADRL driver who reached significant milestones on Friday at the completion of the event that was postponed due to rain in early July.
