It is extremely important to NHRA that the outcome of any race, including our most prestigious event, reward the true winner. On behalf of everyone at NHRA, we want to congratulate Steve Johnson on his win.

Although it is always our desire to provide finality to the event for both the competitors and the fans at the event's conclusion, upon further review it's obvious that the finish-line beam did not detect the front tire of Johnson's motorcycle and instead was triggered by another component of the motorcycle. I am now convinced that the finish-line camera angle did not distort the image and that Johnson's motorcycle was the first to cross the finish line. Therefore, we are reversing the original decision and declaring Steve Johnson the winner of the event.

Adam was pleased with his race, he held on much longer than in the Olympic final.

It was a race to see who was going to get that first championship. It was a relief to get the first one out of the way for the school.

He's very close to being to able to control the race from start to finish.
