ENNIS, Texas - Results of final, round 4 eliminations in Funny Car at the 15th annual O'Reilly Fall Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec:

4:43 PM At one time during the season this matchup would have had everyone buzzing at the prospects. What we can expect here is a good drag race. Force and the rest of Team Castrol have beaten up the Toliver Team like a body bag lately and the trend continued here - Force goes .904 to the 60-foot marker thundering all the way like a missle. Austin Coil had the wick set to just the right length, the blower burst panel sailed in the air just as John went past the finish line. Toliver was game, but still lost the race by over three car lengths.
