2012 Champion Jack Beckman and his team chief mechanic Jimmy Prock last season repeatedly rewrote the record time in the classroom Funny Car. Literally from the Event to the event, a dark blue Dodge Dart became more efficient and faster, while remaining out of reach for the vast majority of opponents. In this procedure, the fixing of national records has been greatly simplified, and now the pilots are not required to confirm their arrival achieve another, different from the in-goal by not more than 1%. And the first barrier collapsed in this championship last year was the result of a Beckman which he improved to 0.005 seconds during Saturday's qualifying in Gainesville flying tysyachefutovuyu distance in 3.879 seconds. By the way, his teammate Matt Hagan last season showed exactly the same time, but could not confirm it.

This outstanding result allowed Beckmann complete the qualification in first place in the seventeenth time in his career. The second number was the Courtney Force, for the first time managed to go from 3.9 seconds.
