Cory Costin won a brand new American Race Cars dragster with a Riggeal’s Performance Fiberglass carbon body on Advanced Product Design Tuesday at the Moser Engineering Spring Fling Million presented by RAD Torque Systems at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

APD Tuesday began with time trials for all drivers on property with eliminations of the 32-Car Shootout happening in the afternoon. Over the last four rounds, Cory Costin from Double Springs, Alabama was a combined .017 on the tree (.008, .004, .001, and .004) and laid down .014 total in the final over Nacho Rivera from Huatabampo, Sonora, Mexico, who was .029 and ran dead-on zero for the runner-up finish.

In the semifinals, Will Holloman and Nacho Rivera were separated by nine-thousandths on the tree with Rivera getting to the stripe first by .017 for the win. On the other side of the ladder, Costin was .001 and backed into Bug McCarty to advance to the final round.

The quarterfinalists included Bug McCarty, James Lee, Will Holloman, David Wright, Cory Costin, Jeff Dobbins II, Dave Meziere, and Nacho Rivera.
