Misconception on a slow stocker winning

First, Congrats to Brent K for his r/u in race 1 last weekend.

I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning this, but there are no secrets on the 'net anymore...It was on NHRA TV, NHRA Y/T, Div. Live Timing, and DRC.
Every run, around 70 mph. Even the announcer mentioned this.The car runs about 83-84 mph.

For the dozen who will read this, and the half dozen who might reply, .....
Spot dropping? Holding and then working the finish line brakes? Giving it up and hoping the other guy is holding, big time? Trying to dial on the money, and hoping the other guy has no room?
What works for you? What doesn't ? Mum is the operative word here?
