Doug Kalitta won this race in 2004 and 2015. This is Doug's 488th race and that is tied for ninth most in NHRA history.

Kalitta with the starting line advantage, but was up in smoke by 330 feet and tried to drive through it, but couldn't get it to hook up.

Crampton is straight down the groove for the win. He runs his quickest pass of the weekend for the win. He will give up lane choice to Force in the next round.
