This is the 91st meeting between these two and that is the most for any two top Fuel drivers.

Schumacher's throttle stuck on the burnout and banged the blower. He pulled it over by the wall and coasted on down the track. He didn't get off the track in time and Kalitta was shut off.

The crew runs back to pits and grabs a fuel jug, they put a splash of fuel in it. They fire the car and it launches and is straight down the groove.

He will have lane choice over Torrence in the final.
