They left virtually together and ran that way until near the 330 lights, where the Castrol Mustang started to spin the tires and slowed.

Beckman's tune up matches the tracks capacity and the Valvoline/MTS funny car drives away for an easy win. He runs a little quicker that two of the three prior rounds, but the race was over right off the line. Great looking pass for a great guy!
