If Matt wins this race he will be the NHRA champion in Pro Stock Bike. Tony Mullen is running a Vance & Hines engine but his best ET of the meet should dispel any talk that he didn't do his best to take out the new 1999 Pro Stock Bike Champion. Congrats to the Vance & Hines team for an exciting championship battle!

In the semi's Hines will face Treble & Antron Brown will race Underdahl.3:03 PM
