12:03 a.m. This is for the Day One honors in Pro Fuel, Evans coming in with the low ET of the traction-challenged first round.

Smallwood's car broke in the water and Evans got a "walkover" to take home the Iron Man and the day-one champion's purse. He had a solid launch, then started chasing traction once again.

With dew now collecting on the track, the Prostalgia Funny Car final round was cancelled for safety.
