Friday qualifying times also hold up for No. 1 qualifiers Mike Salinas, Greg Anderson and Joey Gladstone.
“That track is so good out there and this air is so hard to make power, but this BG Mustang showed them we’re out here making some real horsepower,” Tasca said. “Hats off to the guys, but I’ll tell you one thing, we got a yellow hat in Seattle, and we didn’t get to trade it in for a blue hat. Tomorrow, we want to trade this thing in for a blue hat.”
On the strength of his standout run of 3.754 at 323.19 from Friday, Salinas clinched his third No. 1 qualifier of the season in his 11,000-horsepower Pep Boys/Scrappers Racing dragster.

He made a solid run to close out qualifying on Saturday, giving the veteran confidence as Salinas, who is second in points, heads into race day looking for his fifth win of the season and his first victory in Topeka.
