10:57 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 70 degrees, relative humidity 45 percent, barometer 28.81 inches, adjusted altitude 2,559 feet, track temperature 86 degrees. Today is a lot different than Friday and Saturday with only a few high clouds and lots of sun. Kalitta is 19 - 5 against Grubnic in prior events. If Kalitta wins this round he will move ahead of Grubnic to seventh place in the Championship. Grubnic makes sure that isn't going to happen, as he gets away first and stays there going down the track. Kalitta starts to pull up on him by the 660 lights and then the engine begins to get unhappy and there is a lot of smoke from the engine. David Grubnic's incremental margins: 60ft(0.005), 330 ft(0.004), 660ft(0.020). MOV: 0.0337 seconds (approximately 15 feet). Doug Kalitta's incremental times: 60ft-0.848 sec., 330ft-2.170, 660ft-3.083/275.73 mph. |
