Congratulations Dan. Nobody could possibly argue that 100 wins isn't a huge milestone, but what really hits me is the thousands and thousands of hours you've had to spend working on the cars, traveling to and from races, etc. to achieve it. You've truly dedicated your life to your accomplishment. I'll bet your Dad is smiling...

An excellent racer and a truly nice guy! Quite a roar from the crowd as he pulled up to the stands. (And some more paperwork:-)

You are a true inspiration for racers. Quit your job, went on a winning Western run, and never looked back. Door cars, dragsters, roadsters, wagons, fast cars, slow cars, vans. Taught your kids how to race and win, helped numerous other racers, worked your butt off, drove countless hours, tolerated claims of others, put up with delays and reschedules, and just kept winning. Congratulations Mr. Fletcher, you have earned it.

Great post as usual Ron. Dan's accomplishment of reaching 100 national event wins is an amazing feat. I am not sure how many years he has been racing as a professional but that is an average of at least 4 wins per year. If I am not mistaken he has won in every sportsman category with the exception of the Top classes TD and TS. I can see that happening in the future. He is with out a doubt the greatest sportsman racer of all time. Rampy is right on his heels. Congrats Dan!!

Congratulations!!

For us folks that will never live long enough to match this milestone in winning; how much closet space does it take to have 100 national event jackets hung in a row?

Incredible, Fantastic, Remarkable. I could go on and on. What an accomplishment in such hard categories.

Congratulations on 100 wins. I went to the semi-finals in Stock at Columbus in ’94 or ’95 and a relatively non-descript Camaro from western NY won S/S at the same race. I thought, “good to see one of the little guys win one”. From there, you certainly went on a tear. Here is 100 dots:

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q...=1499704241337

If each dot represents a national even win, just imagine the time and effort it take to make one of those dots. Now do it 100 times. Between the wins, the magazine articles, the advertisements, the numerous mentions of your name at every national event (even if you are not there) your name and your cars have got to be some of the most recognized in all of drag racing. That is saying something in the sea of cars and names that is NHRA Sportsman drag racing.

You have set a example of the meaning of Sportsman racing Hard work, setting goals and meeting them, self drive and endless hours of work just to get another win. Add 99 to that one and you are there. It's easy said but damm hard to get it done. Congrats my man. Any yes "Dan is the Man".

Congratulation Dan and now we have to deal with three more Fletcher and even more if we count Dan's wife. seriously Dan you deserve all the glory. CR

Cheater!!! Lol I couldn't resist. Dan you are the epitome of a master craftsman, you have dedicated your life to racing and have succeeded in every class you've ever raced. I had a chance a few years ago to observe you from a distance at Charlotte between rounds and thought if that's what it takes I will never win many National events! I'm too busy socializing and taking pictures for Ken!
Congratulations on 100 and I can't wait to see how many more you can get. By the way I know you were just as proud of your son winning Pittsburgh as you were of 100.

Mr. Fletcher- I can remember a long time ago when the Checkmate was orange and you and your Dad under it changing transmissions (or clutch-4 speed) at Moroso 5-day events late into the night. All to race the next day(s). We all worked hard to make it happen, but with your dedication and thousands of miles on the road only helps to show how great an accomplishment you've achieved! CONGRATULATIONS!!
