This is the first time since Chicago last year that John Force qualified #1. It is the 15th time that three members of Team Force qualified in the top three spots at the same event..It is John's 7th number one spot at this event but his first since 2001. This is the first time in his career that Tony Pedregon has qualified 16th at back-to-back races. Pedregon with troubles getting the car started and then more problems on the burnout, but gets it staged. They leave together with Force having the slight starting line advantage. Force is straight down Broadway for the win as Pedregon started mixing up cylinders around half track and clicked it off.
