Scelzi is 2 - 1 against Troxel in prior events - all in Top Fuel. This is Troxel's third race at VMP, the first time in Funny Car. She failed to qualify in her first visit in Top Fuel, went to the Top Fuel finals last year. This is Scelzi's 6th visit here - with wins in '97 and last year. These two have never met before in Funny Car.

Troxel's car has been consistently strong all weekend and it was consistent again here, making a clean, straight pass. Scelzi was a bit tardy, but didn't have the ponies to run her down today.
