Clay Millican paces Top Fuel qualifying for playoff opener at Maple Grove Raceway

MOHNTON, Pa. -- Clay Millican powered to the No. 1 Top Fuel qualifying position Saturday in the playoff-opening Dodge NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway.

Millican took his eighth No. 1 qualifier of the year and 18th overall with his Friday pass of 3.723 at 330.72 mph.

"If we make four runs like we've made the last two days, I like our chances," Millican said. "I'm pretty happy with how the car has ran this weekend. During these last six races, every point matters. It's all points right now and it's vitally important we go down the racetrack [Sunday].
