(W) Gary Scelzi (Team Winston Dragster) 0.480 4.711 303.98
(L) Doug Kalitta (MGM Grand Dragster) 0.538 4.789 291.19
4:05 PM This is it, the final pair of cars to complete the event. They
were so close together in performance in the semifinals that lane choice here was
decided by speed (Scelzi). Scelzi tattooed Kalitta at the tree and was never
headed, extending his lead in the middle of the run when Kalitta started hazing
the tires. That wraps things up from Seattle, Sonoma is next.

(L) Jeg Coughlin (Jeg's Mail Order '97 Cutlass) 0.455 7.498 146.00
3:55 PM The first of the Professional final rounds sees Stevens put
Coughlin in the less-favored lane and then Coughlin won the battle of the starting
line. But the track is 1,320 feet long and Coughlin got out of shape in the
middle of the run, allowing Stevens to parlay three consecutive 7.01-second
elapsed times into his third national event win, his last win coming at
Englishtown in 1999. He had to get around two Coughlin brothers in the final two
rounds to do it, so it was no cakewalk. Congratulations to the Valspar team for
the victory.
