In the final round Glidden, known for his ability to deliver on the starting line, used an almost tenth of a second holeshot (.045 to a .136 for Walsh) to take the title. Glidden drove his 2010 Mustang to a 5.923/243.24 in the final that beat Walsh's quicker and faster 5.897/252.33 effort in his turbocharged Precision Turbo/Walsh Motorsports Chevy Camaro.

QUALIFYING

Twenty-nine RPM teams consisting of 13 supercharged cars, nine with Turbo-charging and seven with nitrous injected engine power made up the 29 car qualifying pack. The "parity" in NHRA Pro Mods was in evidence at E-town and the top three qualifiers all had different powerplants.
