His last win was over his boss, <span style="color:#330033;">John Force</span>. Eric left on John and out ran him by two hundredths. His last loss was against <span style="color:#330033;">Kenny Bernstein</span>. 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.)<br />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 <span style="color:#330033;">Gary Densham</span> (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.</div>dragstatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01683284253236466983noreply@blogger.com
