Scelzi won here in 1998 and 2001 in Top Fuel. He was runner up in Funny Car in 2003. This is the 26th time that Densham has started from the number 13 spot in the qualifying order. Scelzi has six wins and five losses against Densham.

This was an odd one. Scelzi launched as soon as he he did, his car broke and was not able to make it all the way down the track. But that was all he needed to get the win because Densham shook the tires hard when he launched, then went sideways. Densham's car slid across the centerline and knocked out the 330-foot cone before he got it straightened out. Scelzi's car came to a stop at mid track and had to be towed off the track.
