John Force understands the importance of knowing where you are at all times on the track. This knowledge could have 
made all of the difference between the No. 1 qualifying position, and well, not being No. 1.
Force ran a lofty 4.103 elapsed time at 307.23 miles per hour to put a lot of daylight between he and his teammates as well as No. 2 qualified Ron Capps.

Force ran a lofty 4.103 elapsed time at 307.23 miles per hour to put a lot of daylight between he and his teammates as well as No. 2 qualified Ron Capps.
“We have learned how to run on good tracks with the cool air and we have learned how to run in the hot air,” said Force, who stands to gain his 134th career No. 1 qualifier if it holds. “We are also able to learn from the other two Mustangs. I watched Robert go out and spin his tires and then see Ashley do almost the same thing. Mike Neff, Bernie Fedderly and Austin Coil got together and made some adjustments on my Castrol hot rod. I have been pretty good at picking people but putting those three guys together I have been real fortunate.
“At the end of the day I want to thank Lanny Miglizzi our track specialist. He is a big part of this. He gets out here early in the week and reads the race track. He is really key in helping the crew chiefs make the calls. When I spoke to Coil and Neff they said I should thank Lanny.”
While Force isn’t complaining about his qualifying position, with the threat of weather looming over the event, getting all of the John Force Racing teams solidly in the field was
“Getting everyone in the top half of the ladder when you have weather coming in is important. When you are racing for 25 years with Castrol and there are a lot of people invested in me and my teams. We want to perform for them. They gave me a second chance. I really appreciate all my sponsors Ford, Auto Club, BrandSource, and Mac Tools. AAA Missouri bought the sponsorship of this race and I know Robert will be flying tomorrow. Jimmy has his Mustang right on the edge. That car is ready to run. I just got through there in that first session. We have worked with AAA Missouri for a few years but to see them buy a race is cool and we want to do well for them and all our sponsors.”
