As might be expected, the pace of holiday traffic is especially brisk along “Steve Torrence Way” in Kilgore, Texas.
City officials have recognized their native son by temporarily renaming Kilgore Street in honor of NHRA’s record-tying/four-time Top Fuel world champion.
Mayor Ronnie Spradlin presented Torrence one of four red-and-white “Steve Torrence Way” street signs commissioned for the occasion during a ceremony on Saturday. For the second time in four years, Torrence, served as Grand Marshal of the city’s annual Christmas Parade on Tuesday.
Three additional “Steve Torrence Way” signs were placed along the parade route at the corners of Danville and Kilgore, Kilgore and Main and Kilgore and Kay streets, where they will remain until the end of the year.
“Each and every championship has its own uniqueness and this one was the most difficult,” said Torrence, who won 11 of 20 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series national events this season. “The competition just continues to strengthen. Brittany Force really brought on the pressure at the end of the year. And I think the more you win, the more success you have, the more people gun for you. So to win four championships, much less four consecutively, makes it more difficult.
