BRAINERD, Minn. -- Jack Beckman had the third-quickest Funny Car run in NHRA history Friday in the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.

Beckman, who also owns the top two quickest runs in the class, powered his Dodge Charger to a track-record 3.946 seconds at 324.75 mph in qualifying.

"Unloading with a good run absolutely puts us in a wonderful position," Beckman said.
