John Force set an Infineon Raceway track record Friday night to lead Funny Car qualifying at the FRAM/Autolite NHRA Nationals.

Force followed his victory in Denver last weekend with a 4.060-second run at 311.99 mph in a Ford Mustang to take the provisional No. 1 qualifying position at the second race in the NHRA's Western Swing.

If the time holds through Saturday's two qualifying sessions, Force will become the all-time No. 1 qualifying leader with 139 in his career.

Tony Schumacher (Top Fuel), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana Jr. (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also qualifying leaders.
