'Pump Gas Performance' team captain Donald Williams, son of Charles Williams andmember of 2-time JEMC runner-up 'W Enterprises', came into the 2005 Jeg's EngineMasters challenge confident his big-block Chevy would be able to tally a final score somewhere around 1,300. Unfortunately during his warm-up pulls he heard a knock, asure indication of a wounded soldier.

Gary Blair -- Ford
Unfortunately, Gary Blair from Blair Racing wasn't able to summon up any good luck during his first round of qualifying. His big Ford arrived at World Products without ever running on the dyno in its current configuration. He choose to warm-up conservatively, and his glowingred headers indicated that his warm-up pulls wouldn't be the best. He choose to change his oil during his 30-minute tuning period, and when trying to restart the engine, found the distributor shaft seized. Blair, unable to find a replacement distributor in the 16 minutes of tuning time he had left, and had to withdrawal from competition as a DNQ.
