Booher Secures Second JEGS Allstars Berth with Norwalk Win
NORWALK, OH – Past NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster regional champion Brandon Booher added a race win to his 
2016 championship effort as he won the Cavalcade of Stars event at Summit Motorsports Park last weekend. The victory also gave Booher enough points to claim the number one spot to represent the North Central Region in the prestigious JEGS Allstars race in July.
Booher was especially pleased to win the Cavalcade of Stars because he only qualified eighth, barely earning the chance to race on Sunday. Tire shake plagued the AB Construction blown alcohol dragster on all three qualifying attempts, but the versatile driver/tuner found a solution for eliminations that brought him victorious runs of 5.447, 5.447, and 5.413 over Jared Dreher, Ken Perry, and Brandon Greco, respectively.
Booher Caps Off Four-Race Stretch with Runner-Up Finish at Carolina Nationals
CONCORD, NC – Former NHRA Carolina Nationals event champion Brandon Booher came just one win-light short 
of adding a second Charlotte Wally to his trophy case this past weekend. Booher fell to 2011 Top Alcohol Dragster national champion Duane Shields in the Carolina Nationals final round, capping off a four-week stretch of races for the family-owned team out of Champaign, Illinois.
“We started in Bowling Green with new cylinder heads from MBE – that definitely picked up our program. Not being able to field a competitive car in hot weather was something that was hurting us before. We could run well in good air, but so could everyone else. Now I feel that we can be competitive anywhere. Then we went to Indy with a new front-half. We had some issues there, then ran well in Earlville. We were able to finish strong this weekend at Charlotte, qualifying solidly in the field and reaching the final round,” Booher commented.
Booher Earns St. Louis Wally for Newborn Daughter
Alcohol Dragster pilot Brandon Booher this weekend. Racing at the All-American Hot Rod Showdown at Gateway Motorsports Park, Booher picked up his first event win of 2015 when he defeated A/Fuel rookie Megan Meyer in the final round. It was also Booher’s first win since he and wife, Shannon, welcomed their daughter, Adelynn, into the world on July 31st.
“It was great to be back and to get that first win as a dad was pretty special. At the start of the season, before she was born, I promised Adelynn I would get her a Wally. I was hoping I would get it a little sooner, but it’s nice that she’s actually here to enjoy it. This one will be special,” Booher said of the traditional trophy awarded to NHRA event winners.
Booher Scores Second Consecutive Runner-Up Finish of 2015
NORWALK, OH – Brandon Booher is working his way back into championship form in NHRA’s North Central 
region, where he now has back-to-back runner-up finishes in 2015. The for-hire Pro Mod tuner drove the AB Construction Top Alcohol Dragster to his seventh regional-level final round at Summit Motorsports Park last weekend, just two weeks after taking runner-up at the season opener in Indianapolis.
“It was definitely good to be in those final rounds and to acquire the points. Obviously I would’ve liked to win them both, or at least one. It certainly could’ve been worse. I suspected a few issues at Indy, though they were overshadowed by other unrelated problems. Those issues made themselves evident at Norwalk, but there was nothing we could do about that at the track. I just had to maintain performance and do my job as a driver,” said Booher, who also tunes the family-owned car.
Booher Looking for Resurgence at Bowling Green Regional
BOWLING GREEN, KY – A breakout 2013 season had Brandon Booher and his AB Construction team primed for a national 
championship chase as the 2014 season began. They kicked off the year with a runner-up finish at the Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte then a win at the Norwalk regional. Their luck turned for the worse after that, falling in the first and second round at most races, even failing to qualify twice. Booher, who drives and tunes the family-owned Top Alcohol Dragster, hopes to turn things around for the better at this weekend’s NHRA North Central Region event in Bowling Green.
“To go from the year we had last year and starting this year strong to struggling with issues and the car not running these last few races has been tough. It’s no shortage of work or effort on anyone’s part, it’s just issues we’ve had to chase. It’s been tough but that’s part of the deal. We just need to plug away and get our car back to running where it should.
Booher Enters Burndown at Sundown as Defending Event Champion
JOLIET, IL – Defending Burndown at Sundown Top Alcohol Dragster event champion Brandon Booher is back at Route 66 Raceway 
this weekend with hopes of adding another NHRA Lucas Oil Series regional event Wally to his trophy case. Booher, who won his first-ever NHRA event win at this race last year, faced challenges to prepare for the weekend and expects even more when the race begins.
“We had some issues at Topeka, issues that we’ve been fighting all year. Whenever the temperature is over eighty degrees the car just doesn’t run well. I think we have those issues fixed – we’ll find out this weekend. I expect the car to perform as well as it has here in the past,” Booher said.
Booher and his AB Construction/Torque MGMT team swept the 2013 Burndown at Sundown, qualifying No. 1 with a 5.328 ET and winning the race over national championship runner-up Chris Demke. Brandon went on to claim his first NHRA North Central regional championship.
Booher Lowers Personal Record, Wins Norwalk Regional Race
NORWALK, OH – Booher Racing Top Alcohol Dragster driver Brandon Booher prevailed over adverse conditions, a stacked field, 
and mechanical issues to claim the Cavalcade of Stars NHRA North Central regional race title last weekend.
Qualifying alone was challenging enough for any of the nineteen Top Alcohol Dragster teams who showed up from all over North America to race in front of the legendary Norwalk crowd. Booher was on a decent run during Friday’s session until a torque converter issue slowed down the AB Construction dragster to a 6.09. Brandon and his crew put a new converter in the car for the remainder of qualifying, which was shortened to just one session on Sunday morning due to Saturday rain storms.
Regional Champ Booher Ready for Challenge at Cavalcade of Stars
NORWALK, OH – Reigning NHRA North Central Region Top Alcohol Dragster champion Brandon Booher returns to Summit 
Motorsports Park this weekend for his second Lucas Oil Series regional event. The now-storied Mickey Mart Rewards Cavalcade of Stars event, May 16-18, is known for sold-out crowds of almost 50,000 fans, but it has also become one of the largest regional events in the country in terms of car counts. Booher expects to compete against a packed field of challengers from around the country this weekend.
“I think it’s going to be a tough field. With the A/Fuel rule changes and the projected forecast being cooler temperatures, it’s going to be especially tough. It wouldn’t surprise me if we have sixteen to twenty cars fighting for eight spots. It will be important for us to go A to B on the first qualifying run so we can put a good number on the board and have something to build on for the following sessions,” said Booher, who was the No. 1 qualifier at last year’s Cavalcade of Stars.
Booher Starts Season with Four-Wide Runner-Up
CONCORD, NC – As he anticipated, Top Alcohol Dragster driver/tuner Brandon Booher started his 2014 season in the same way he 
ended his last season; running in the low five-thirties and racing to the final round. The Champaign, Ill.-based driver overcame powerful A/Fuel competitors and parts breakage to persist through eliminations at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway near Charlotte last weekend.
Booher made a statement in the opening qualifying session, posting a 5.324/274 MPH blast down the race track. He backed it up with consistent 5.330 and 5.327 elapsed times during the later two qualifying sessions, but it was his first run of the season that was good enough to place him sixth in the field of nitromethane-injected A/Fuel dragsters.
TAD Regional Champ Booher Kicking off 2014 Campaign at Four-Wide Nationals
CONCORD, NC – NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster regional champion Brandon Booher is back in the United States after a two-month racing series took him to Qatar to work as a tuning consultant. The torque converter-savvy Booher is starting his 2014 campaign at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway this weekend, April 11-13.
Brandon spent most of his “offseason” in Qatar, joining Brandon Snider’s ADRL Pro Extreme team as a tuning consultant. After working on and running the blown-alcohol Pro Mod almost daily, Booher is excited to be back to tuning and driving his AB Constuction/Torque MGMT dragster.
“When I got back from Qatar, I was almost burnt out from racing. We basically ran a full season’s worth of runs in six weeks straight. I slowly started getting things ready, but the season starting on the west coast really motivated me to get everything ready for our season. Now I’m fully prepared to start off right where we left off,” Brandon said, hinting at his first-ever national event win at the Carolina Nationals here last September.
