Comeaux, Hughes Make History at IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular

Monday, 23 April 2018

PORT ALLEN, La. — Perry Comeaux and Brian Hughes made history as the first winners of the new International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Summit Sportsman Spectacular races Saturday at State Capitol Raceway.

Comeaux from Praireville, La., was the winner of Saturday’s Moser $10k race. Hughes from Diana, Texas was the winner of the LaQuinta Inn & Suites $5k race, which was moved up to Saturday night due to a wet weather forecast.

The IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular was created to produce a double-race weekend with increased purses that is affordable for grassroots, bracket-racing competitors who support their local tracks each week. Saturday’s action did just that.

Comeaux was presented an IHRA Ironman Trophy and a large championship check for $10,000 for his efforts. Brad Roberts of Carthage, Texas captured the $2,000 runner-up prize.

Dalton Lummus from China, Texas picked up $700 for his win in the Junior Dragster division. Cole Walker from Denham Springs, La., got the $200 runner-up prize.

Josh Enroth from Gulfport, Miss., ended up with $1,500 in prize money for finishing runner-up and earning a semifinal-round bonus.

Trey Gallet from Breaux Bridge, La., received the $700 prize as the Junior Dragster winner as Lummus was again in the finals, earning $200 as the runner-up. Each of the weekend’s runner-up finishers also received a special IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular medal.
