Tommy Johnson Jr. won his seventh national event trophy by defeating drag racing legend John Force in the final round in 2006. He was also the runner-up here in 1988 in the Top Alcohol Funny Car category. The last time these two met was in Dallas in 2007. Pedregon has a 5-3 advantage in first round face-offs. Pedregon is 12 - 11 against Johnson Jr. in prior events. The left lane is still working well and Johnson gets the easy win with big numbers, as Pedregon's tires are smoking before the 330 lights. He pumps the pedal to no avail. Tommy Johnson Jr.'s incremental times: 60ft-0.902 sec., 330ft-2.342, 660ft-3.316/266.74 mph.
