The latest update as of June 17, 2024

It's been a bit of an up and down season for Shawn Cowie as he embarks on another chapter in his 18-year career in NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster racing. It's been a long road from his very first appearance in Top Alcohol at Mission Raceway Park in May of 2007. He debuted in a car formerly driven by Hillary Will, built by Rick Santos, and tuned by the "Northwest Hitter" himself, Bucky Austin. His very first qualifying pass netted an awesome 5.363 - 271.65 that slotted him into the #2 spot on the ladder.

Shawn forced his way into the top spot with a quicker 5.330 in the final qualifying session, and advanced to the final round, where he lost a close one to Thomas Bayer, driving the Steve Federlin car. However, Cowie got his revenge over the Federlin family team, starting from the #4 qualifying spot and going all the way to the final where he beat Bayer with a strong 5.435 - 263.15 over Bayer's blower banging 7-second pass.
