Bruce Block in his 2004 Dodge Ram ran three times to get to the top with a final run against Chris Nolt in his 2006 Dodge. Both trucks had run over 144 mph in the quarter during the day, both very fast trucks in their own rights. During the final run and halfway down the track Chris Nolt blew his turbo giving the edge and win to Bruce.
