3:27 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 78 degrees, relative humidity 54 percent, barometer 29.51 inches, adjusted
altitude 2,406 feet, track temperature 108 degrees.Fagnilli's car got out of shape and very close to the wall (didn't look like
he hit it), then made a hard right turn and he wisely got the chutes out, slowing the car and allowing him to get the nose of the
car pointed down the track by the time he got to the middle of the right lane.
Meanwhile, Molnar had an almost-perfect light and
was well clear by the time Fagnilli came into his lane.
