J. Force and C. Force have each won 7 times against the other in prior events.

John gets out of the gate first, Courtney pulls even at the sixty foot mark, then she strikes the tires about 300 feet out and has to give up on the run. John goes right down the groove and pulls away for the win.

John Force's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.002), 330 ft(0.020), 660ft(0.293). MOV: 0.9109 seconds (more than 100 feet).

Beckman will have lane choice over John Force in round two.
