Tony Schumacher, Jack Beckman, Justin Humphreys and Steve Johnson were the pro winners.

Pedregon is two points up on Beckman, who qualified 11th. John Force didn't qualify.

Since John got his 1000 win he can sit back and take it easy. just let the rest of the team do the work, he made his mark in history. look how young Carroll Shelby was when he had to retire now look at him these days. |
