6:24 PM Make it 4-0 for Scelzi against Dunn in final rounds this year. Scelzi was wired to the tree, a psychic light for Top Fuel, and Dunn began losing traction about 100 feet out. Then there was a flash of flame on top of the engine, at the base of the supercharger. Scelzi was vulnerable, falling off a tenth of a second from his two earlier runs, but when you're hot, you're hot. That increases Scelzi's Winston Championship lead over Cory Mac to 73 points and over Joe Amato to 137.
