Tony Pedregon, who earlier in the day warned his opponents that “the road to the championship still goes through the Pedregons,” made that stand up by defeating Robert Hight in the Funny car final. Greg Anderson was the hero for event and car sponsor Summit after defeating Larry Morgan in the final round to claim the 55th title of his impressive career. Eighteen-year Pro Stock Motorcycle veteran Hector Arana, twice a runner-up in his 149 career starts, finally collected his first career victory, defeating Craig Treble in the money round.
