This is the rerun of the Top Alcohol final from last week's Regional event. These two are the last pair in the final qualifying session. These runs will also count toward the qualifying times for the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals.

Demke with the starting line advantage, but then starts to lose traction and pedals it, but can't chase Whiteley down. Whiteley gets the win for a Whiteley family sweep of the Alcohol classes.
