BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Results of round 2 eliminations in Nostalgia Funny Car at the Goodguys, 8th Annual Fuel and Gas Finals:

2:27 p.m. This is #1 and #2 in the points meeting in the semis. La Charite shook the tires and had to pedal. That was all she wrote for La Charite. That win just about clinches the championship for that team.

Jennings was second at the hit but passed Pettit pretty early in the run. He meets Krabill, the Reunion winner in 2006, in the finals in about two hours.
