There is a new Funny Car Points Leader in the house! Beckman gets away first and is running well, when Gray's Service Central Charger strikes the tires right after the 330 lights. He pedals to no avail, while Beckman's Aaron's/Valvoline Charger was flying down the track and into the points lead for the first time in his career. This pairs up nicely for back to back wins here at Phoenix. Jack Beckman's incremental margins: 60ft(0.012), 330 ft(0.110), 660ft(0.625). MOV: 1.5571 seconds (more than 100 feet).
