19-year old Gage Burch wins the largest payout in drag racing history in a Ford Ranger; $525,000

Gage Burch of Palmetto, FL went 10 rounds on Saturday at the SFG500 at US 131 in Martin, Michigan to beat Johnny Ezell in the final round.

Gage was behind the wheel of a Ford Ranger dialed in at 6.50’s and Ezell was in his hardtail dragster. Burch was also runner-up in the $50k Race earlier in the weekend. Like for respect ✊

Will Holloman and Jeg Coughlin were the semi-finalists.

Great Job Kyle Riley, AJ Ashe, US 131 Motorsports Park and the entire SFG team! History in the making!
