This is the ninth time Johnson has qualified #1 in his career. He won Englishtown from the #1 position this year, the only #1 qualifier in Funny Car to win an event this season. Pedregon holds a slim 7-6 edge against TJ in prior events. This is the ninth time he's qualified 16th in his career and seven of the other eight times led to first-round losses.

Looks like the #1-qualifier jinx is still alive and well, Johnson's car refused to go into reverse at the end of the burnout and he could not get into forward gear to drive it off the track, so Pedregon made a solo pass with TJ's car sitting at the 330-foot marker.
