Clay Millican qualified 11th Friday in his only attempt as the 25th Toyo Tires Nationals got
underway at Maple Grove Raceway. Rain and a wet track kept racers on the sidelines for part of the
day and ultimately the second session.
Millican drove the LifeLockracing.com dragster to a time of 4.011 seconds at 204.14 mph.
"We finally got a qualifying session in," said Millican. "We hated to lose the second session
because we could've used it. Lance (Larsen, crew chief) changed a lot of stuff since last week's
race at Brainerd (Minn.). And I'm not sure how much he learned on our run because the motor ran on
only seven cylinders.
"The weather report for Saturday doesn't look very good, but I hope we're able to make two runs so
we can pick up the eighth cylinder and improve our time enough to get into the top half of the
field. Either way, we'll be ready to go in Sunday's eliminations."
