Pedregon has a two to one advantage over Force in final rounds. He's 29 to 37 win/loss in overall final wins and is 1 win and 2 losses at this event. In 2012, his is 0 and 1 and Force is 1 and two in final rounds. Force and Pedregon have each won once against the other in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Force wraps up a stellar rookie year in the final round, but the car is just not up to it. The Mustang had good flames, but the car just doesn't move off the line or down the track. She finally gives it up early, but the car still leaves "Stuff" off the line and down the track. Pedregon is second off the line and flies on by and powers the Snap-on Camry to the finish line with another low four second pass. He was definitely going to make it hard to beat him. He is the 2012 World Finals Funny Car Champion. Cruz Pedregon's incremental times: 60ft-0.918 sec., 330ft-2.306, 660ft-3.260/270.92 mph.
