Fantastic Video: Watch Top Fuel Crew Guy Matt Sackman Listen To His Brother Win Top Dragster While Thrashing!

This is a really special piece of video. Zach and Matt Sackman are widely respected and very well liked people in the sport of drag racing. As brothers the run the Hangsterfers top dragster entry at events around the country. This is a blown, alcohol burning dragster that they regularly dial in the 6.0s with. Car is beautiful and cool. It just so happens that Matt is a crew guy with Antron Brown’s team and his brother Zack was racing top dragster in Chicago. Zack made the final and the scene you are about to see should really put a smile on your face.

Sackman is packing the parachute on Brown’s Matco Tools sponsored dragster and he’s getting a second set of hands from Mike Lewis to get the job done. Being a live TV weekend, the teams were humping to get the job done. Meanwhile the guys have one ear trained on the radio because that’s the PA feed coming in and at some point Zack is going to run. Well that moment comes and Zack does pull off the win. The whoop and hollar from the team was something and the very genuine response to the whole deal tells you just how closely knit that group of men is.

It often gets lost that everyone at a drag strip is a drag racer. Top Fuel, L/Stock, Comp eliminator, and Super Gas have a similarity between them and it is the people involved in running the cars. So many guys have their own projects at home or they race on the rare weekends we have off, etc. The point here is that there’s a lot more stuff bringing us together in this sport than pushing us apart and that’s 100% what this situation sums up perfectly.
