Two second-generation rookies faced off here, Baca in his ninth race in Top Fuel, Vandergriff in his first. Vandergriff was away first, but Baca caught him by the 330-foot marker and then steadily opened the gap. Both cars were smoke-free, but Baca made the second-quickest run of the round (so far) and won handily. He will have lane choice against Hartman-Smith next round.
