In what had to bee seen as the upset of the day in Pro Stock, Mark Martino eliminated 2011 champion Jason Line in the first round. Martino’s GXP ran 6.589/210.01 to Line’s 6.604/211.13.

Chris McGaha had his own upset going as the Odessa, Texas, driver got the benefit of Erica Enders’ redlight in the first round and then ran 6.604/208.81 to defeat Martino’s 6.604/193.96 in the second. McGaha’s 2012 Avenger had problems in the semifinal and he clicked it off, moving Greg Anderson into the final round.  (Adam Cranmer photo)

In the final round, he powered his Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson to a 6.822 at 194.94 to cross the finish line five feet in front of Hines, whose identically prepared Harley-Davidson posted a 6.861 at 194.55. It was Krawiec’s third consecutive Gatornationals victory and 12th win of his career.
