Mike Ashley in Evan Knoll Dodge Charger is in 5th place Hight’s J.F. racing Team Mate Eric is in 6th place in the AAA Castrol Ford Mustang but fellow team mate Rookie Ashley Force and 14 time NHRA POWERade AAFC Champion John Force both outside the top 10 in points they both are going to have to battle all the top ten cars to get into the top eight by Indy. For both Force’s there are plenty of races to go but it is a up hill fight as all the teams are shooting to be in the top eight. Jeff Arend in 7th place in the Worsham racing CSK blue team have gotten into the first two races but just barley the red car of Del Worsham is struggling this is not what the CSK team leader was thinking he would be out of the top 10 but since his crash at the AAA Auto Club Finals in 2006 the team seems like they have lost there tune up!Tim Wilkerson is 9th place and Tim has the Chevy Monte Carlo running great now if he could rip off some of his power during eliminations he will be fighting to stay in 8th place. 9th is held down by Bob Gilbertson in the Autolite Dodge Charger, Bob who will be running two cars the other being his IHRA AAFC team which will be the Trick Tank Outlaw Dodge Good Luck in trying to run both series as Bob is the only NHRA top Ten guy who has committed to both NHRA & IHRA! Tenth place is held down by independent racer Jim Head with is Toyota body and Dodge body he has run both this year as always, Head runs his funny car different then the others as Jim is always tinkering with his combo, but with Alan Johnson's help, Head should be in the thick of the battle all year!
