Race Recap: Lee returned to the McLeod Racing Toyota for Team Kalitta after an awesome debut in Las Vegas. However, Lee, crew chief Todd Smith and the McLeod Racing team was not about to be outdone. The team scored four straight three-second passes in qualifying to solidly qualify 11th in the quickest Funny Car field in NHRA history. In his first round matchup with Robert Hight, Lee was prepared, recording the top reaction time of the round, but encountered tire smoke down track giving the round win to Hight.
Statistics:
Qualified: No. 11 (3.935 sec., 305.36 mph)
- E1: Lee defeated by Hight - 4.460 sec., 195.28 mph to 3.929 sec., 326.40 mph
