From DNQ to Semifinalist – Don Nolan Enjoys Career-Best Finish at Carolina Nationals
MANCHESTER, KY – Prior to the Carlyle Tools NHRA Carolina Nationals, Top Alcohol Dragster driver Don Nolan had only qualified for 
two races outside of the 2013 season. He not only qualified for this race, he qualified in the top half of the strong field, ran career-best numbers by a bunch, and beat two of the class’ most accomplished drivers on his way to the semifinals.
Nolan was the talk of the alcohol pits after he drove his VisoneRV.com blown alcohol dragster to the provisional No. 2 spot following two qualifying sessions on Friday, clocking a career-best 5.406 at 263 miles per hour. Though he ran a close 5.45 during Saturday’s final qualifying session, he was bumped to No. 7 in the sixteen-car field.
“We were not expecting that 5.40. I expected maybe a mid to high 5.4 run out of the car this weekend. The crew and I were very excited to see those numbers to close out a difficult season,” said Nolan, owner of Nolan Surveying.
