Reigning Top Alcohol Funny Car champ Jonnie Lindberg took a big step toward a possible repeat title when he won his fourth event of the season. Lindberg moved into first place in the standings after final-round opponent Annie Whiteley shook the tires. Entering eliminations as the No. 4 seed, Lindberg drove his Landmeco Camaro past Tony Bogolo, Clint Thompson, and Doug Gordon to reach the final, where he won for the fifth time in eight money rounds. With his latest victory, the Swedish-born Lindberg also became the first European driver to win the Big Go.
