Green is 5 - 4 against Wilkerson in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. It's a "Family Affair" with Dad driving one car and Son tuning the other!

A strong side by side right down the track with big header flames. Green was away first and that made the difference, as the incrementals show them right together going down the track.

Chad Green is your Funny Car Champion with a holeshot win!
