Fletch must have been powering to the line. Notice how close his wheelie bar wheels are to the track surface & distance the fender is over the front tire. Seems logical he would do that when a faster car is running him down at the line @ 150+ MPH. That is just good racing!

The results MAY have been different if he hadn't replaced a fuel system component before first round that resulted in a .060 ET pick up.

Just say'in !

Good racers and a good race. When these 2 collide, could go either way. Hard to ever bet against Dan, especially as he approaches the 100 National Event win mark. Bernie 'may' and 'if' are small words with very large meaning. These 2 racers will do their talking on the track it seems

I would say that it is a stupid bet to bet against either one of them. Both are "great" and know how to win.
