Bracket racers, consider 19 year old Gage Burch. He just won the largest payout ever in drag racing; $525,000. This was at 3:45 am this morning at US 131 in Martin, Michigan. He went 10 rounds and beat Johnny Ezell in the final. JBR was in his dragster. Gage was in a Ford Ranger running 6.50’s. Wow. He also runner upped in the $50k at the same event. There’s still hope for the little guy

His light in the final was double some of the losing packages I saw earlier. It's an amazing game we play! I saw a guy lose with a .006 pack!

At 19 he has a long future ahead of him!

Gage and Jeggie had a hell of a race in the Semis!

I'm officially jealous!!!

Great job regardless!

Hes got some true talent who spends almost every weekend racing somewhere. He's Had some good coaches along the way but the kid is a bada$$. Congrats Gage

for those wondering yes it had a Chevy motor in it of course and he had never sat in the truck until Wed morning!

I couldn't stay up til 3:45 in the morning

ep-good job

thats what i say pauley. i get up at 4:30am everyday to do that work thang so 3:45am be way past my bedtime. thats why 19 yr old won it. everybody else got tired just kiddin’. great job by the young man.

i woulda been okay with flat trophy and the check that comes with flat hardware at 3:45am just long as i got to go to bed before pics. this makes me tired just thinking bout racing that long. gonna have to get me one them big fancy motor coaches if i go back racing so i can catch some winks in ‘tween rounds
