These two drivers have faced each other in eliminations only once in the past, Capps winning that one. Capps won the CSK NHRA Nationals at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix earlier this year, did so from the 9th qualifying spot.

The Safety Safari did some work on the right lane at the starting line after the Top Fuel cars were finished running.

Bode was moving around his lane, but he gave it all he had. Capps has a flawless pass to move into the second round.
