O'REILLY MIDSOUTH NATIONALS NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Bruce Dillashaw
"I knew I could do it - maybe not as good as some, but I knew I could handle this job. All I ever asked for was a chance to prove myself." - Rookie Eric Medlen, who took the coveted spot in John Force's second Funny Car and earned his first Funny Car victory in Brainerd (page 16)

FUNNY CAR by Todd Veney
"When we were getting in [our race cars], I said, 'Hey, Scelzi, how ya doin'?.' He told me he was ready to throw up, and I said, 'Great. Me, too.' See, he knows. He knows what it's like." – John Force, for whom the battle for the Funny Car championship exists every waking moment, on the Memphis final in which he beat Gary Scelzi for his 113th career victory (page 14)
