Darrell Russell 0.102 | 4.67 | 305.7 Doug Kalitta 0.104 | 4.749 | 297.48

Kalitta and Russell have raced each other 12 times in prior races, Kalitta holding a 7-5 record in those contests. Both had traction problems last round, but Kalitta's came way down the track. This was a close drag race all the way, neither driver with a light to brag about and Russell slowly drawing out to a car length or so advantage at the finish line. Russell faces Dixon in the finals, Dixon with lane choice.
