At The 17th Annual O'Reilly Texas Thunder Fun Ford Weekend Nationals at Houston Raceway Park, Street Renegade saw a nine car field post qualifying times from 7.80's to 9.40's. Travis Franklin and Richard Lelsz found their way to first and second respectively on the list, and were only separated by .055 seconds. The two met in round three where Franklin cut a great .012 light and never looked back on his way to running 7.89 @180. That set up another ProCharger versus turbo race for the finals with Franklin taking on the fifth qualifier, Kenjo Kelley. At the light, Kelley had the advantage with an .019 light to Franklin's .042. All the way down the track it looked dead-even, but Franklin pro-charged his way around and got to the stripe first with a 7.87 @179 to Kelley's 8.02.
