Of that total 30 drivers only won one race in their Funny Car career. John Force's eight wins in Seattle are the most for any pro driver. John has met 142 drivers in his career and Todd is one of eight drivers that John has never beaten. Ok, so J.R. is 1 - 0 against John, but still.

Force has eight victories at the track - 1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2014. He has been to 10 finals overall. Force is 55-20 in 75 elimination-round races at Pacific Raceways.

Todd won't get his second win against Force, as after just a 0.006 starting line advantage, the tire are smoking before the 330 foot lights.

Force makes his quickest and fastest pass of the weekend for the win, but will give up lane choice to team-mate, Hight, in round two.
