Lane choice will be awarded to the driver with the lowest e.t. from their first round performance. As a result, lane choice goes in the following order: Top Fuel: Massey, Bernstein, Brown, Lucas; Funny Car: Neff, Force, Wilkerson, Worsham.
The historic exhibition will take place at the conclusion of the professional semi-final round at approximately 4:30-4:45 p.m. (ET).
