Del Worsham has three Funny Car wins at this event (and one Top Fuel). He is the defending event champion. In the history of this event only two drivers, Matt Hagan and Kenny Bernstein, have ever won the Funny Car crown in back-to-back years. He has won almost 55% of all of his races and has a round one win advantage of over 60%. He has won eleven of the twenty-one first round encounters with Wilkerson. Wilkerson is running his 743rd round of competition with a 48% win record. Over 52% in round one pairings.

Worsham has lane choice and decided to move over to the right lane after Arend's pass. Well, that didn't work! He is just 0.02 behind at the green, but the car moves hard left at the green and then smokes the tires.

Wilkerson takes advantage of the left lane and powers on down the track to make the quickest pass of the session. He will have lane choice over Beckman next round.

Tim Wilkerson's incremental times: 60ft-0.870 sec., 330ft-2.259, 660ft-3.178/280.72 mph.
