Phil Burkart (4.77) was close to his first win since 1999 but was shut down for a leak.

Dean Skuza had an unfortunate DNQ. He was the overwhelming fan favorite this weekend.

This is one of the runs that will be talked about for a while . If these two were leading the points I believe they would have raced straight up, but with Whit Bazemore right on Tony's butt the team result is the most important, meaning Force took a dive.

Gary Scelzi (4.73/329 best) ran some big speed numbers all weekend. Will he be back with Schumacher next year or will he be with a new team.

Cory Lee was the giant killer as he took out the ex point leader Whit Bazemore in round one.

Bob Gilbertson is in one of the best looking cars he has driven. He made the field but went out in round one.

Bob Bode ran a career best 4.82 but went out in round one. Jack Wyatt DNQ'ed for the 16th time this year. Yikes!

Scotty Cannon got back in eliminations after his first DNQ last week after 50+ straight. Cruz Pedregon lost in round with a stellar 4.800/321 pass.

Seeing twins. No Dale Creasy had a team mate this weekend in Terry Haddock.

The team mates battled in round one. Capps won!

John Lawson ran Force in round one but wheel stood it big time. Force played team games this weekend.

Del Worsham ran in the 4.70's and was part of the quickest side by side race in history in round. A 4.76 to 4.73 loss to Scelzi. Tim Wilkerson lost in round one to Del.

Tony re-took the points lead from Whit when he went out in round one.

Gary Densham played team orders as well when he took the lousy lane in his round two against Tony after running a 4.723 in the other lane.
