4:49 PM The Sun came out just a few minutes ago, so the track is still relatively cool, 76 degrees, almost perfect for these cars. It's not often that Dixon comes into a final round the underdog, but Kalitta has dominated Top Fuel this weekend, his worst run an early-shutoff 4.696 in qualifying. It was a good race, Dixon with a small starting line edge, both cars running almost the same numbers they posted in the semifinals. Once again, Dixon had the wheels up, carrying them past the 60-foot timer before they came down. They were dead-even at 330 feet, then Kalitta started to pull ahead for the win. Doug Kalitta's MOV: 0.0478 seconds (approximately 23 feet).
