Terry Haddock 0 | 0 | 0 Doug Kalitta 0.067 | 3.737 | 328.22

Doug Kalitta won here in 2005 & 2006. Doug's win in Houston was his 39th and that places him in a tie for 9th place on the all-time nitro win list and his 934 total rounds ranks tenth in all of the pro classes. The top qualifier in the dragster class has only won this race three times in the last 26 years. Kalitta is 2 - 0 against Haddock in prior events. Haddock did the burnout and the rpms were real high when he returned to the starting line and had a fuel leak, so he was shut off. Kalitta launched hard and was just a few ticks off his qualifying time for the win on the single. He will have lane choice over Schumacher in round two.
