Jim Head has eight round one losses her at Maple Grove. This is the seventh time in his career he started in the number seven position. Head ran his first race here in a funny car in 1985. He beat Bruce Larson and lost to Kenny Bernstein in the second round. If Head and Bernstein win both win their first round matchups, they'll meet in the second round.

Hartman-Smith smoked and shook the tires when she launched and backed off the throttle by the time she reached the 330 foot mark. Head had a clean run to take the win.
