Rocky Balboa Has Nothing on Atlanta NHRA Top Fuel Winner Antron Brown Brown ties Joe Amato for third on all-time NHRA Top Fuel class wins list. By Susan Wade JERRY FOSS NHRA/NATIONAL DRAGSTER For Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Bob Tasca III (Funny Car), and Greg Anderson (Pro Stock), their Lucas Oil NHRA Southern Nationals victories Sunday at soon-to-be closed Atlanta Dragway were all about relationships. Brown regarded his final-round duel against fellow three-time champions and best friend Steve Torrence as a heavyweight slugfest à la the Hollywood one from Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky film. “That’s Rocky Balboa right there (referencing Torrence) and I’m Apollo (Creed). To get this win, it was truly remarkable. We just built on it every, every lap. Any time you can do this and get one of these (Wally trophies), it’s just so special.”
