After three rounds of qualifying the Cobra Jets held down the top five spots, with Bill Skillman setting the pace at 7.74 at 172.96 mph. Bill was trailed by Carl Tasca (7.75/178.24); Chris Holbrook (7.77/178.05); Randy Eakins (7.78/178.64); and Drew Skillman (7.82/175.11). Kevin Skinner rounded out the Mustang contingent, slotting in the 14th position with a 7.90 at 173 mph. Other notables were Watson Racing drivers Paul Roderick, who failed to qualify with a 7.96, but ran a speed of 179.33 mph, former event winner Chuck Watson, who ran 8.06 at 175, but struggled with traction, and Don Fezell, who clocked an impressive 8.12 at 166 mph with his 5.4L-powered 2008 Cobra Jet.

The reason why that happened was the higher ups at Ford were contacted.
Don proudly displaces the Team Cobra Jet Sticker on his car that Jesse Kershaw gave him, he never ignored a Ford customer.
