Race control needs to read their rulebook rather than spout off a rule from memory. It is clearly stated in the 2018 NHRA rulebook in section 2 page 7 about lane choices. Only in the Pros, Alcohol Dragster and Funnycar, Pro Mod, TS and TD, and Comp does lane choice goes to the faster car. "In all other categories, competing drivers are to determine lane choice by a flip of the coin or a randon-draw lane assignment."
If you did not get to flip a coin for lane choice...YOU GOT SCREWED.
