A quick mention for Chris Andrews and the Lucas Oil/African Oil Products backed rail out of the Rune Fjeld Motorsport stable, as Andrews picked up his first low qualifier position with low ET and top speed of the event at 4.074/299.79. This would be the only high spot for the team as three of the RFM entries were gone by the first round of eliminations (Andrews double stepping before the tree activated against Erbacher) and the fourth, Duncan Micallef, was towed back to the pits after a forlorn wait as first alternate.
