CLERMONT, Ind. - Results of final, round 3 eliminations in Funny Car at the 20th annual Budweiser Shootout at Indianapolis:

The sun has been baking the track since the last round, so this should be interesting. The temperature is 79 degrees, humidity is 50%, and the barometer is 29.99 inches. Pedregon was out of the gate first and never looked back. He started to haze the tires around half track and pedaled it and was able to get it to hook back up. Bazemore blistered the Goodyears around 330 feet and he pedaled it once and was back up in smoke and then was on and off the throttle rest of the way down the 1320. Frank will take home the $100.000 check from Budweiser.
