The right lane still appears a bit loose about 300 feet out, KJ having some problems getting through that area of the track. Left Lane: Tony Gillig Runs 7.100/194.93, Now #10; Best prior run: 7.182/192.55, Was #15 Right Lane: Jim Yates Runs 7.065/195.52, Now #5; Best prior run: 7.079/195.52, Was #7 Left Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 13.884/61.69, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.956/132.56, Was #18 Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 7.088/194.97, Now #9; Best prior run: 8.055/120.82, Was #19 Coughlin's car shook and made a hard right turn as soon as he let the clutch out.
