in Ron Capps rookie year, at Seattle, he beat KB and Prudhomme. That's an amazing accomplishment for a rookie in 95, when KB was on fire.

His rookie year he had no sponsor, and a fire suit with patches sewn on.

But after 20 years, 446 Sunday starts, 614 round wins, 49 race wins, and 4 championship runner ups he took the big trophy home

Well, this was finally his year, he's the 2016 Funny Car Champion. (John Force who?)
