Go behind the scenes with the team of CompetitionPlusTv as Factory Stock Showdown racer Chris Holbrook discusses his incredible 8.38 elapsed time, the quickest-ever for a Stock eliminator racer.
Gary Phillips, who led John Cannuli by 68 points in the Top Alcohol points headed into Willowbank, had his weekend ended prematurely as he lost control of his Lucas Oil Funny Car at about the 60-foot mark and impacted the retaining wall in his lane.

Gibbs believes a good measure of his qualification was in having "good, walking around sense."
