Like the rest of the Funny Car class, Jeff Arend and his Checker, Schuck’s, Kragen blue crew battled the conditions on Saturday. The mostly sunny day and warm temperatures took a great deal of the bite out of a record setting track, and when the clutch dust settled on Atlanta Dragway on Saturday, the only change in the order from Friday’s night ladder was Gary Densham’s move from 16th up to 14th. Densham’s move set up the first-round pairing for Sunday, as Arend and Densham will now square off.
