It looks like some big name DQ's in stock. Because there was only 1 Q pass, it looks like they're out for eliminations. That sucks.

They must have fixed whatever the reason for the DQ. Everyone on the run list was placed on the ladder.

They better get it on, Sunday you are not going to want to be there when the rain comes, temps in the low 50s by mid morn. Could be a repeat of last year.

All dq's were placed on the ladder. I believe it's because of the rain-shortened event (makes it an all run field).

Noticed on qual sheet it has Mike Ficacci listed in C/S in his corvette! Is this correct???

Our own Bobby Bender did something a little different at this race - Bobby was awarded a Bronze Star while in the 101st Airborne and his star got to take a very fast ride this afternoon as Tony ( aka " the Sarge " ) Schumacher took it along with him on a 325 MPH pass in his Army sponsored Top Fuel car .Thanks for your service Bobby ..........
