This is Jeff Arend's first race since the Las Vegas event earlier this year (DNQ) and it's his first start since the Phoenix race in February.

Arend and Force have each won 2 times against the other in prior events. For his career he is 11-21 against members of the Force family.

This was a wild one. Arend gets the advantage off the line but Force goes around him before they reach the sixty foot mark. They both go up in smoke early, Force keeps pedaling , Arend gives up on the run. Force moves around all over the track but is able to get to the stripe and take the win.

Courtney Force's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.008), 330 ft(0.010), 660ft(0.428). MOV: 1.2679 seconds (more than 100 feet).
