INDIANAPOLIS — “Big Daddy”
Don Garlits won his first National
Hot Rod Association event since
1979 Monday, capturing the Top
Fuel title in the $1 million 30th U.S.
Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway
Park.
Garlits, 52, Ocala, Fla., beat Con
nie Kalitta, Ypsilanti, Mich., in the fi
nals of the 16-car race with a quar
ter-mile clocking of 5.52 seconds at
259.36 miles per hour. Kalitta fol
lowed in 5.69 seconds at 250 mph.
For Garlits, one of drag racing’s
biggest legends, it was his sixth U.S.'
Nationals title and his 22nd NHRA
career victory. Garlits won his fist
Nationals title in 1964 and added
victories in 1967, ’68, ’75, ’78.
Garlits is the oldest driver ever to
win an NHRA event.
“This is my greatest victory be
cause of my age,” Garlits said. “I’m
not supposed to be able to do this.”
Bonnell singled in the game-winning
run during a four-run fourth inning
Monday night as the Seattle Mari
ners ended the Texas Rangers’
three-game winning streak with a 7-
3 victory.
Mark Langston, 14-9, and Ed Nu
nez combined on a nine-hitter to
give the Mariners their sixth straight
victory at Arlington Stadium dating
back to last September.
Langston recorded his eighth vic
tory in his last IQ decisions, allowing
nine hits and five walks and striking
out seven in 7 1/3 innings. Nunez
blanked the Rangers over the final 1
2/3 innings for his sixth save.
Seattle took a 5-2 lead with four
runs in the fourth inning off loser
Frank Tanana, 14-13.
nell singled in Cowens to give Sea-
tatle a 3-2 lead and Jim Presley sin
gled in Henderson to make it 4-2.
Bonnell scored all the way from
first on the play when shortstop Jeff
Kunkel matte two errors after Pres
ley successfully advanced to second.
Yost’s first of two doubles, in the
sixth inning, cut Seattle’s lead to 5-3.
I he Mariners added single runs
in the eighth and ninth innings on
RBI doubles by Cowens and Spike
Owen to pad their lead 7-3.
With Texas leading 2-1, Ken
Phelps and A1 Cowens walked with
two out and Steve Henderson’s base
hit scored Phelps to tie the game as
catcher Ned Yost dropped right
fielder George Wright’s throw. Bon-
Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the first
on an RBI groundnut by Alvin Da
vis. Texas took a 2-1 lead in its half
of the first on Gary Ward’s RBI dou
ble and a run-scoring single by
Buddy Bell, who had three hits.
At Yankee Stadium, Joe Cowley
and Dave Righetti combined on a
four-hitter and Bobby Meacham
knocked in the game’s first run with
a seventh-inning sacrifice fly to give
New York a 2-0 triumph over the
Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees
pulled within five games of second-
place Toronto in the AL East.
