4:30 PM You expect to se the name Austin in the final of an Alcohol Funnycar race but Dennis Taylor hasn't been here at a national event in a long time. Bad news for Taylor. After the burnout the crew discovered a problem and the car was shutoff. Austin singles for another event win in his long career.
