<P>JEGS Promod Challenge driver Tim Tindle used his final attempt to qualify 11th for Sunday's eliminations at the 8th annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals at "The Strip," recording an elapsed time of 6.11, 233.52 mph.
In the opening run on Friday, Tindle eased out of the groove and recorded an 8.749, 109.90 mph, good for only No.18 at the time. In his second stab, the car shook the tires off the starting line, producing a 7.134, 197.33 mph (No. 20). Still out of the show, the Tindle Racing team rose to the occasion in his final attempt under unstable weather conditions.
"We are here to race and it is extremely important to make the field," said Tindle, who is No. 9 in the series points. "It is a big deal for us. Like I've always said, you've got to be in to win and we are. I am really proud of these guys. We were all against the wall going into the last attempt and they got the job done."
"Unfortunately my son TJ couldn't make the race this weekend due to an Outlaw 330 event he had in Tennessee. Just before our final qualifying attempt, we received notice that he won the event. He then called back just before we rolled out and wished us the best of luck during qualifying and the race. So, to hear that he won the event and then, right after, put this Ford GT 500E Mustang in the field just makes for an awesome day."
Tindle faces No.6 qualifier Taylor Lastor in the first round of eliminations on Sunday.
