Tim Wilkerson qualifies first in Phoenix, Worsham and A. Force DNQ

Rain cancelled Friday's NHRA Funny Car qualifying, leaving drivers with only two Saturday sessions to get into the Checker Schuck's Kragen NHRA Nationals at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix.

Tim Wilkerson impressively leads the field into eliminations on Sunday. With only two sessions to qualify, the list of those that didn't make the field is surprising. Del Worsham experienced the disappointment of not qualifying his Checker Schuck's Kragen sponsored Impala at his sponsor's event. Del wasn't the lone DNQ though. Ashley Force, Melanie Troxel, Bob Tasca III and Terry Haddock were also unable to qualify.

Prudhomme and Wilkerson to align for the 2008 NHRA POWERade season – NHRA.com

Team owner Don Prudhomme and owner/driver Tim Wilkerson announced an alliance for the upcoming 2008 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing season. While Snake Racing will field a car in the Top Fuel category and Tim Wilkerson will campaign a Funny Car, the new coalition will create the ability for the two teams to share resources and discuss tuning decisions, while generating new opportunities for their sponsors.

"Tim has always been a really good guy and a solid competitor," Prudhomme said. "I know he has a good relationship with (Snake Racing crew chiefs) Donnie Bender and Todd Smith and both teams have always been quick to lend each other a helping hand. For 2008, I wanted to strengthen the relationship between our teams and create opportunities for our dragster and Tim's Funny Car program."
