This is the first time Force and Burkart have faced each other in eliminations. The number one Funny Car qualifier has won three times in the last 25 years at the Winternationals. This is Courtney Force's 3rd #1 spot in her last six races. This is Phil Burkart's seventh time as the #16 qualifier. In his previous six starts he has won one round and that was when he beat John force at Indy in 2005.

Burkhart gets a small starting line advantage, but the Mustang is out in front before sixty feet and pulling steadily ahead. Steve Pluger's Monte Carlo strikes the tires before the 330 lights and their weekend is over.

Force finishes the pass with another low four second ET.
