Today is John Force's 54th birthday. This is the first time this season he has qualified in the number one position, the 113th time in his career. This is the first time Force and Gilbertson have met this season in eliminations.They have faced each other 16 times in the past with Force having a 15-1 advantage.

Another race where all one driver could see was the back of his opponent's car. It looks like Team Force may have finally gotten the gremlins worked out of this car.
