John Force 0.114 | 4.78 | 323.27 Tony Bartone 0.098 | 12.052 | 76.05

Tony Bartone has anchored this, the quickest Funny Car field in history, as well as the prior quickest field at Chicago-2 earlier this year. The conditions are completely different than what the crew chiefs have seen all weekend and the tune up must be coming from a book that hasn't been opened until today. Coil must have worked the toothpick overtime as he throws another 4.7 on the scoreboard. It certainly validates Tony Pedregon's earlier 4.766 in this session. Bartone was off the line first but the car rattled the tires loose early and he could only watch as Force disappeared over the horizon.
