4:35 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 89 degrees, relative humidity 30 percent, barometer 29.16 inches, adjusted altitude 3,393 feet, track temperature 124 degrees.

The Pro Mod Challenge series race at Indy comes down to the classic Pro Modified rivalry, nitrous versus supercharger, and these are possibly the two best in the country in their respective disciplines.

It wasn't pretty, both cars with early tire chatter, but Hernandez had to pedal it two or three times to get hooked back up while Castellana did so with little extra effort and he was able to cruise away to victory.
