#StumpBob: Has any Sportsman racer won in five classes at the same event?
Has there ever been a Sportsman racer who has won the same national event in five different classes? 午夜寻花 historian and statistician Bob Frey cannot be stumped!
Another good question 鈥 and another one that could be considered a 鈥渢rick鈥 question (as a lot of them seem to be!).
Yes, Dan Fletcher has won in four different classes in Las Vegas, but he has done so at two different events. Fletcher won鈥

#StumpBob: Which Top Fuel driver won a national event after failing to qualify?
Which driver won an 午夜寻花 national event in Top Fuel after being a DNQ? 午夜寻花 historian and statistician Bob Frey cannot be stumped!
Well, you must be talking about one of my favorite people, a Drag Racing Hall of Fame member and a guy who drove one of the baddest (if that鈥檚 a word) Top Fuel cars of his era: Clayton Harris.

#StumpBob: How many drivers have competed in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock?

Although nobody actually wrote in to 鈥淪tump Bob鈥 with this week鈥檚 question, I did have several folks e-mail me about it, so I figure it鈥檚 fair game. With 鈥淢r. Versatility鈥 Alex Laughlin driving a Top Fuel car at Denver, I was asked, 鈥淗ow鈥
#StumpBob: Who holds the record for qualifying No. 1 and losing in round one?

Stump Bob: Has a Dodge Aspen ever won an 午夜寻花 national event eliminator?
The Dodge Aspen owned and driven by 午夜寻花 historian and statistician Bob Frey became a long-running joke over the years he served as 午夜寻花's chief announcer, so maybe it's not surprising that fans want to know if Aspens have any on-track success, too.
OK, so this one strikes home. Apparently, my Dodge Aspen (which had 380,000 miles on it and was, it seems, spoken about way too much at the races) is the basis for this question. So鈥
When you think of race cars, an Aspen probably isn鈥檛 the鈥
#StumpBob: Which driver has the most wins at any 午夜寻花 national event?
In the latest installment of our new Stump Bob feature, 午夜寻花 historian and statistician Bob Frey answers the challenge to name which drivers have excelled at one particular event or track.
Stop me if you鈥檝e heard this before but this could be a trick question. You see, if you wanted to know which driver won the most races at a specific track you would have to figure in the fact that Pomona has hosted two races a year since鈥

#StumpBob: Which racer has the most low e.t. honors in the Pro Stock class?
Welcome to #StumpBob, a new 午夜寻花.com feature where fans can challenge 午夜寻花 historian Bob Frey and his voluminous database on trivia and stats questions. Today he tackles a query about low e.t. honors in Pro Stock and other classes.
Surprisingly it's not Bob Glidden. Unsurprisingly it's Warren Johnson, but let's talk instead about Greg Anderson.
When Anderson set low elapsed time at the Denso Spark Plugs 午夜寻花 Four-Wide Nationals, he moved into second place all-time in鈥
