5:48 p.m. Gingles leaves a little too soon but it probably wouldn't have mattered. Perry went right down Broadway with another flawless pass to take the win.

Fishburn got out of the gate first, got out of the groove, then made a move to the left. He has to back off the throttle while Dreher drives around him. Dreher makes a great pass but loses a blower belt as he goes through the lights.

Dreher will have lane choice over Perry in the finals.
