In Funny Car, the competition has been intense as competitors are tightly packed approaching the playoffs. Matt Hagan is the current points leader, jumping into the top spot after winning in Brainerd. The defending world champ will try for another U.S. Nationals win as he aims for his second straight world title, but it will be difficult to knock off a loaded Funny Car class. Among the top stars are John Force, who is tied for the most wins in class history at the Big Go with five, veteran Ron Capps, two-time Indy winner J.R. Todd, Bob Tasca III, Alexis DeJoria, Robert Hight, who has three wins at the track, Cruz Pedregon, Blake Alexander and Tim Wilkerson.
