After watching the first pair, Cory Mac decides that the left lane is where he needs to be and switches lanes with Vandergriff. This is a must win to keep his position in the championship.

Ouch! Vandergriff gets a nice lead at the green light and then has to watch McClenathan flash on by. It's a double hit for Vandergriff, as the Fram fueler erupts in a flash of flame at the 660 lights and slows.
