Yes, and Enders in 3rd. Barring a real meltdown by Allen and Jason, Enders is pretty much out of it.

Stock eliminator racers have been working the qualifying ladder for decades to get a position favorable for heads-up matches. In the Super Classes, if your buddy has to go rounds to win the title, and the guy in the lead needs to lose first round, you go up to the lanes and try to line up with the guy and take him out! I have no problem with Anderson's approach, far better than throwing rounds to a teammate, and if he thinks he can take Alan out in round 2 more power to him! I think he'll get his wish...and then get his butt spanked!

Yes, I hate to see Anderson playing the ladder game but I do know it all goes on every race... I guess I just hate Anderson and that's all I got to say about this..... Go Jeggie... Blister his butt in first round!!!!

You got 4 places separated by 10 1/1000 of a second. You guys really believe Anderson is that good he can place the car on the ladder where he wants it? He's making sure Jason qualifies better than him to keep from taking points away from Jason. Every position in a qualifying round is worth a point in the Top 3. Gray is intertwined with the Ken Black cars too. I'm sure he'll have a scuba suit on in Round 1. I'm fairly sure Kramer will have one on too. That's what team cars are for. It's just business.

I listened to the live coverage and he said from round 1 his intention was to get on the same side of the ladder as Johnson... He did it and now we have to hope Jeggy lays a 00 light on him and makes him work for round one.....

No, I think that AJ needs (and plans) to just go out and EARN the Championship he deserves, by RACING, regardless of who is in the other Lane. I just think it's BS doing all this 'strategic' qualifying, it Taints the #1 window decal (which really means more to a true racer than anything else in Pro Stock). btw, isn't Vincent Nobile is on Line's side of the Ladder or does he race V first round? GO AJ!!!

I know they all play games for their teammates as if Jason and Greg ran each other of course Greg is going to give his teammate the win since Line has a chance to win it. But I have never seen a Pro Stock car sandbag like Anderson is doing and drop 10 or more mph. Thats a little more obvious then I have ever seen before and I have never seen any other Pro Stock team drop a bunch of mph to try and place their car. I hope AJ wins today and takes it all as I am sure most of us on here do. Ron

You guys are as bad as G. Anderson with the crybaby chit! It's racing "what ever it takes to win". There is a couple hundred grand on the line! Let's go A.J. Team MoPar to the Front!

V. would face Line in the 2nd round if they both make it past the first round. The bright side is AJ outran Line in the last session. If AJ makes it 1 round farther than Line today he pretty much has it sewn up.

Having raced for several state Championships on two wheels...I agree. It's all about the win and keeping your sponsorship so you can do it again next year.
Some entertaining posts though.

Watching on ESPN3....wonder if they'll get to run. Those crash & burn fuel guys have made four passes, and oiled the track on two of them. With all that money they can't seem to figure out how to get them to go 1000 feet without making a mess.

With 126 points over Line - it seems to me that AJ will end season as #1 regardless of Pomona.

So great to see a guy, AJ with such passion and heart. You can tell how badly he wants this championship. I have to say that Line was a great sport in his interview. Wasnt bad mouthing anyone, and he basically said he had to take a shot.
Looks like a few rounds in Pomona and AJ is the champ!! Prayin he qualifies well, and brings the championship back to MoPar!!
Jason is a stand up guy. Heard he is a Mopar guy at heart. He just gets a bad rap because his boss is such a tool. I guess there are plenty of us though that have to put up with that type of boss. On a high note though WAY TO GO AJ!

I think we're seeing the benefit of a two car team finally for Mopar. Twice the data, twice the tests, second " view", twice the hits,twice the development and another drivers " view".
I simply cant wait to see that number one on the most deserving team in Pro Stock! I remember talking to one of the piston manufacters, and they told me, " man, that Roy Johnson sometimes asks for some weird stuff". ( paraphrasing). Well, seems the mad scientist sure knows what he is doing!.
Congrats Roy , Allen, and the whole crew, who work behind the scenes to make it all happpen.
I asked Allen to swing by Moparts shortly and give us the update on his way to #1 !!!

It was great not seeing Vinny laying down for AJ, They raced a real race, and a close one to boot. I know Vinny has his day comeing as he is an awesome driver and a great leaver.
Too many times Ive seen a 2 car team make it to the finals and the owner in this case AJ gets the win regardless, but I am sure if somethinglike a mis shift, or some hazed tires it could have been anyones race.
Way to show sportsmanship and not making him lay down.
You know I hate to even think it but many teams do it but look at VN mph on the final run. It was 204 as he may have lifted a tad early even though it looks as AJ said go all out. Dont know dont care as AJ and VN are both great Mopar Pro Stock teams and it will be so great to see AJ win it all as they have worked hard for it and stuck with Mopar all these years. Ron

Ron I agree with you, but if it was me and I was in the other lane and AJ told me to run it all out, I would let him have a half a fender and ride it out. Its respect. Thats all. They (Alan and Roy) have bust there butt and stuck with us(mopar people) for a long time. Just my
