This is the first meeting between Medlen and Bartone. Bartone has six finals here in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class, winning twice.

Bartone was giving Medlen a run for his money for the first 400 feet or so, then he started mixing up cylinders and slowed. Medlen went right down the groove, then banged the blower just as he went through the lights.
