5:17 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 79 degrees, relative humidity 46 percent, barometer 29.39 inches, adjusted altitude 2,557 feet, track temperature 104 degrees.

Force is 5 - 1 against Hagan in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Force has a 45 point lead over both Hagan and Beckman in the points battle.

Hagan gets off the line first, then Force starts to reel him in. Force gets about 400 feet out, starts drifting to the right, then the tires break loose and the rear of the car moves back and forth violently. Force has to back off the throttle at that point and Hagan marches on for the win.

Hagan will leave here in second place in the points, 25 behind the leader Force.
