The last time Shawn Cowie jumped into a car he won the race, it was back in 2011 at the spring national event in Las Vegas. He is on a 6 round winning streak that has spanned over 2 years. Demke wants to take home the win for the second year in a row. This should be a great race.

It is Shawn Cowie!!!! They had identical reaction times, but the Cowie team had more power and he had the better car. There is not a dry eye in the house after watching Cowie return to the drivers seat to take the #1 spot and taking the win after over 2 years out of the sport. That is the comeback story of the year. Congrats to the team and the driver on the win.

Shawn Cowie's incremental times: 60ft-0.946 sec., 330ft-2.409, 660ft-3.573/208.67 mph, 1,000ft-4.569.
Chris Demke's incremental times: 60ft-0.939 sec., 330ft-2.431, 660ft-3.604/211.61 mph, 1,000ft-4.601.

Shawn Cowie's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.007), 330 ft(0.022), 660ft(0.031), 1,000ft(0.032). MOV: 0.0288 seconds (approximately 11 feet).
