This is the 100th meeting between the two and that's the 2nd most between and 2 FC drivers (Force & Cruz 105). The sixteen-time Funny Car world champion, John Force, has 8 wins and 6 runner-ups here and his 63 round wins in Arizona are, by far, the most for any pro driver in any class. He's made 14 final round appearances with eight spent in the winner's circle, half of which came consecutively from 1994-1997. Ron Capps won here in 2003, 2009 & 2013.

Force is 59 - 40 against Capps in prior events.

There was just 0.001 difference in their best qualifying ties and now just 0.002 difference in their reaction times.

Capps was able to get out in front briefly at the 60 foot lights, but The Prock Rocket slowly drives back out in front and pulls further ahead going down the track.

A classic great race!
