Blake Alexander was runner-up here in Top Fuel last year. This is the 79th race for Paul Lee and his first since the NHRA Finals in 2016. This is the first time Alexander and Lee have faced each other in eliminations. Alexander's team can't get the car to fire and Lee waits and waits. Finally NHRA tells Lee to fire the car. Alexander finally gets the car to start, but the chute came out and the team couldn't get it to the line before NHRA told him to shut it off. Daniel wilkerson said after the race it was problems with safety shut off. Lee then went up in smoke but still gets the win. |
