Art Marshall’s victory, at the 1972 Grandnational, was the final win by a
front-engine Top Fueler and quite an upset for the unheralded 23-year-old
speed shop salesman from Springfield, N.J. His car, the ex-Don Prudhomme
high-back Hot Wheels dragster, was owned with Don Young and sponsored
by Van Iderstine’s Speed & Auto, where Marshall worked. Theirs was the
lone front-engine car in the field, yet he set down hitters such as Olson,
Harris, and, in the final, Jeb Allen.
