CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Points leader Ron Capps took the No. 1 qualifying position in Funny Car on Saturday at the CARQUEST Auto Parts NHRA Nationals.
Coming off a Winternationals win two weeks ago in Pomona, Capps set a track record with a 3.925 second pass at 320.50 mph in his Dodge Charger, just .005 of a second better than Courtney Force's 3.930 run on Friday. It is the 18th No. 1 of his career and third at this event.
"We're not so naive to think this can keep up," Capps said. "There's too good of competition. We'll just take it, we'll take the wins and this is a great No.
