Force and McClenathan on WFO radio
Force, a 14-time NHRA Funny Car champion, earned his 128th career victory in dramatic fashion by edging daughter Ashley Force Hood with a final elapsed time of 4.036 to 4.042 in the rain-delayed Funny Car final eliminations. Force's win was the second of 2010 as he lengthened his points lead to 89 over Ron Capps, who finished third in the four-wide Funny Car finals.
In Top Fuel, McClenathan qualified number one and won for the second time this season with a 3.820 elapsed time at 319.00 mph to defeat Doug Kalitta (3.825), Antron Brown (3.862) and Doug Herbert (4.268). With the win, McClenathan now has a 52-point lead in the NHRA Full Throttle Series points standings over Don Schumacher Racing teammate and defending Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher
