Del Worsham has won here in both Top Fuel and Funny Car. He is the defending event champion. Only one Funny Car driver, Ron Capps, has ever won this race in back-to-back years. Matt Hagan can help himself and his teammate, Jack Beckman, if he could beat Del. Matt has won 35 rounds this year and Del has won 34. Hagan is 8 - 7 against Worsham in prior events. Worsham gets out of the gate first and starts to pull away. Hagan starts hazing the tires early, then goes up in smoke and has to back off the throttle early. Worsham goes right down the groove and takes the win. Del Worsham's incremental margins: 60ft(0.029), 330 ft(0.041), 660ft(0.267). MOV: 0.8306 seconds (more than 100 feet). Worsham will have lane choice over Hight in the next round. |
