Gary Phillips has claimed his third straight "top speed" and second straight "low elapsed time" from a rain ravaged third round of ANDRA Pro Series Top Alcohol last weekend and despite the event not reaching eliminations status, the Lucas Oils Team bagged every bonus point on offer.

With only the three rounds of qualifying completed before rain spoiled the weekend, Phillips had enough strong runs on the board to claim the 5.643 low elapsed time, 253.90mph top speed and top qualifying bonus points and despite the oppressive heat and humidity, the top qualifying pass was one-tenth of a second quicker than the number 2 spot. This afforded him the chance to gain eleven points on current series leader, Aaron Hambridge.
