After a foggy start at Gateway International Raceway with overcast skies much of the morning, it's all blue skies and sunshine as the track prepares for the final round of NHRA Full Throttle Series' Pro Class qualifying for tomorrow's AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals.

John Force is the only driver from yesterday to maintain his No. 1 qualifying position from yesterday with his ET of 4.103 seconds. Cory McClenathan took over the top spot from Tony Schumacher with a 3.815 second ET that broke the NHRA track record in Top Fuel. In Pro Stock, Roger Brogdon came out of nowhere to earn the provisional pole with a 6.644 second run. While he ran the same ET as Mike Edwards, his speed of 208.01 mph was faster than Edwards'.

Finally, in Pro Stock Motorcycles, defending class champion Hector Arana went to the top of the leaderboard with a run of 6.905 seconds. Treble's motor grenaded as he went down the track for his run.

The final qualifying run is starting now. Tomorrow's pre-race ceremonies start at 10 a.m. with eliminations beginning at 11.
