4:40 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 88 degrees, relative humidity 33 percent, barometer 29.33 inches, adjusted altitude 3,075 feet.

Both drivers have already won earlier this year and now meet in the Chicago Shootout final. Jennings gets the advantage off the line and has his way for a while. He improves by a thousandth of his win time last round, but can't stay in the lead. Krabill saves the best for last and parleys a great .999 sixty foot time and a five second elapsed time to take the win in a breeze. Two clean passes to wrap up Funny Car.
