5:23 p.m. We've arrived at the final round of Funny Car for 2007. Fitting that it should come down to two Force mobiles with Papa John looking on with a big smile on his face. Dead even at the hit it was Burkart that struck the tires at about 330ft. Hight drifted towards the center stripe but never really got close.
