Lucas is in his sixth final round. This is Massey's first final round - in fact, this is the first time he has been past the second round and he only had one Top Fuel round win before today. These two have never raced each other before: Massey is Lucas' 34th different opponent, Lucas is Massey's eighth. In fact, Massey has never faced any of his four opponents today in any prior event in Top Fuel. Massey is in his 7th race, Lucas his 107th. Both drivers have recorded several divisional and national event wins in Top Alcohol Dragster, Massey winning here in '07 and '08. However, no matter which driver wins, it will be their first-ever Top Fuel "Wally."

This promised to be a close race, turned into a pedaling contest,both drivers on and off the throttle at least four times, Massey getting very sideways. In the end, the rookie had more momentum and coasted across the line first by a couple car lengths. Morgan Lucas' incremental margins: 60ft(0.010), 330 ft(0.013), 660ft(0.020). MOV: 0.1978 seconds (approximately 42 feet).
