Round one of the Kall Out Kings gasser grudge match between RoadKill’s Mike Finnegan and Hoonigan’s Jon Chase at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com went decisively to Finnegan.

Finnegan’s Blasphemi ’55 Chevy leaped off the line and posted a 9.10. Chase’s similar ’55 appeared to bog at the line, then chased Finnegan with a 13.51.

Chase’s Tri 5 By Fire did not have its planned engine in the framerails but the team will transplant its race engine into the car tonight.

The duo are battling not only for internet bragging rights, but the loser also will have to shave his beard at the conclusion of the best-of-three match race.
