Eric Medlen's Final Stats

Let me give you a few stats to remember Eric by…first of all his last two elimination runs were against two of Funny Car’s legends. His last win was over his boss, John Force. Eric left on John and out ran him by two hundredths. His last loss was against Kenny Bernstein. Ironically, Eric tagged the wall on that run. (Interesting enough as well that Cruz Pedregon and Ashley Force were both disqualified by tagging the wall at Gainesville.)
Eric qualified at every event he entered starting in 2004, 72 to be exact…62 times qualifying in the top half of the show and 8 times #1. He had an even 5.0 qualifying average. He only had two measly redlights out of 161 elimination runs. His best win/loss record was against Gary Densham (10-1). Plenty of good things have been said about Eric that I can’t add to. His enthusiasm and the fact he came to be a driver by working on the car first, earned him respect and a lot of fans.
