In the finals of the specialty race, Force went 3.869-seconds at 324.75 mph in her 12,000-horsepower Monster Energy dragster, easily holding off Ashley, who ran into tire smoke during the matchup. It\u2019s the first Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge victory of the year for the two-time world champion, continuing what has already been a banner weekend for the world\u2019s fastest driver.<\/p>\n

Her incredible run of 3.645 at a world-record 343.16 easily held up on Saturday, giving Force her third No. 1 of the season as well. She\u2019ll open raceday against Seattle winner and points leader Shawn Langdon, who struggled during qualifying, looking for a clean sweep of the weekend and another Sonoma victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to finally win one of these Mission #2Fast2tasty Challenge races. I was talking with David [Grubnic, crew chief] last night and we said that we were disappointed we didn\u2019t have one. We turned on two win lights today to get the job done,\u201d Force said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans have been awesome here. I think about Sonoma and I think it\u2019s wine country and everyone is chill but they\u2019re rowdy here. It\u2019s still surreal to think that we went 343 mph. I write it on an autograph and it just doesn\u2019t look right. We had fun last night. We had a great time with the fans but David went right back to work. He\u2019s trying to figure out how to win tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Doug Kalitta took the second spot with Friday\u2019s 3.661 at 332.84 and Clay Millican qualified third with a 3.699 at 335.15.<\/p>\n

In Funny Car, Ron Capps got a chance to celebrate on Saturday at one of his favorite facilities, defeating No. 1 qualifier Matt Hagan in the final round of the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge with a run of 3.904 at 324.20 in his 12,000-horsepower NAPA Auto Car Toyota GR Supra.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second bonus race win of the year for Capps, who put together a solid run to slip past Hagan\u2019s run of 3.926, defeating Spencer Hyde earlier in the day. Capps has come on strong in recent weeks and will try to turn it into a stellar weekend with his fifth victory at Sonoma Raceway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure it was going to cool off but it did and we thought there were some 3.8s out there for sure,\u201d Capps said. \u201cBefore we ran, Guido [Dean Antonelli, crew chief] said he thought we could better our qualifying position. That\u2019s a big deal, so I had to stage thin. I also had to be ready for Matt because we all know how good he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a really cool race and it was good to give Toyota a win. I grew up three hours South of here and this has always been a great place to race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hagan stayed on top heading into raceday, earning his first No. 1 qualifier of the season thanks to Friday\u2019s run of 3.861 at 332.59 in his 12,000-horsepower Johnson\u2019s Horsepowered Garage Dodge\/\/SRT Hellcat. The four-time world champion, who also picked up his 53rd No. 1 qualifier, will open eliminations against Jeff Diehl as Hagan attempts to win at Sonoma Raceway for the first time in his standout career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat momentum, that chemistry, all the stuff we\u2019re doing right now I feel like has carried into this weekend,\u201d Hagan said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of great things going for us right now and as a team, as a unit, we\u2019re working really well together. I\u2019m excited to get back into race mode. I just love racing and turning the win light on. It\u2019s competitive out there and it\u2019s exciting for me, always.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rookie Spencer Hyde used Friday\u2019s 3.865 at 333.58 to qualify second and Paul Lee took third with a 3.890 at 299.00.<\/p>\n

Dallas Glenn closed out Pro Stock qualifying in spectacular fashion on Saturday in Sonoma, winning the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, taking over the No. 1 qualifying spot and setting a new track record all in one remarkable run of 6.471 at 211.79 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro.<\/p>\n

Cody Coughlin left first in the bonus race and went 6.501, but Glenn tracked him down with the quickest Pro Stock run in Sonoma Raceway history, picking up his third \u2013 and second straight \u2013 victory in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge this year. Glenn, who set track records galore last week en route to a win at his home track in Seattle, also qualified No. 1 for the fourth time this year. The points leader starts raceday against Kenny Delco as he attempts to keep on his torrid pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shows that we have a good car,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cWe ran into a headwind, so I didn\u2019t think we could [qualify No. 1], but we made a good run even though I messed up a bit. I guess I got a bit lucky since Cody was only seven thousandths away from stealing it from me. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy car is great right now. This is the best car I\u2019ve ever had and the only thing that keeps it from winning is me. I just need to do my job. There is always at least one thing we could do better, so I\u2019m trying to make sure I find that and do it. I\u2019m harder on myself than anyone else will ever be.\u201d<\/p>\n
