1:15 PM Round two of Top Fuel is on the pad. We have just had single runs for Red Greth in the Speed Sport Roadster and 'The Addict' Top Fueler. Jeeze, that's why I LOVE this weekend. Later on we'll get to see runs by the Beebe & Mulligan car and 'The Jade Grenade'. In this pair it's Lee Jennings getting the win. Earlier this season Jennings had a bad crash at Fallon. It's good to see him back.

Dunlap makes the burnout but is shutoff when he returns to the line. Howell makes a squirt and shuts it off early. It will be Howell and Jennings meeting in the final round and Jennings will have lane choice.
