5:39 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 70 degrees, relative humidity 56 percent, barometer 27.69 inches, adjusted altitude 3,627 feet, track temperature 86 degrees.

This was a great end to Top Fuel, Millican with a great light and a strong run to half track. Then his car started mixing the cylinders up and Foley started closing the gap fast, but he ran out of room. Clay Millican's incremental margins: 60ft(0.093), 330 ft(0.121), 660ft(0.116), 1,000ft(0.070). MOV: 0.0351 seconds (approximately 16 feet). That makes Millican 5-5
