Langdon has been in 12 prior final rounds, with 5 wins. Torrence has been in 6 finals, with 4 wins. Both TF finalists have won Indy before, Torrence in TAD in 2005 and Langdon in Super Gas in 2010. The winner will become the 25th driver to win Top Fuel at Indy. The last time these two met in a final round was yesterday, in the Traxxas Nitro Shootout, Langdon the winner. Torrence is 6 - 5 against Langdon in prior events and Torrence is 1 - 0 against Langdon in prior national event final rounds (not including shootouts).

They were just a thousandth apart leaving the starting line, but Torrence kept the candles lit all the way to the stripe while Torrence's car was not on all eight from half-track on.

Shawn Langdon's incremental margins: 60ft(0.009), 330 ft(0.015), 660ft(0.057). MOV: 0.0901 seconds (approximately 41 feet).

That's Langdon's sixth national event win, fifth this season, in 13 final rounds and he goes into the Countdown seeded first.
