Chris Holbrook took his Ford Mustang to the top of the SAMTech.edu Factory Stock Showdown field at the Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals presented by Minties -- and he did so by a wide margin. 

Holbrook ran an 8.024-second pass at 173.36 mph in warm conditions in Topeka, while the next closest competitior, Bo Butner III, ran an 8.098 at 171.53 in a Chevrolet Camaro. The vehicles ran identical 60-foot times, but Holbrook made much better use of the next 1,260 feet to set the bar for the next three qualifying sessions. You can see the rest of the qualifying runs below, which are sorted by qualifying order with the drivers' names listed right lane first, left lane second.
