This is Johnny Gray's' fourth #1 spot and his first since Norwalk last year. He was #1 at this race last year. For Robert Hight, this is only the second time that he has been the #16 qualifier, and the last time was in Norwalk last year when he beat Gray, when Johnny's parachute came out on the burnout. Hight is 8 - 4 against Gray in prior events.

Smoke fest! They leave within 0.002 of each other and Hight has a very small lead at the 60' lights, where their incrementals are just 0.004 apart. It all goes South at that point, as both cars are up in smoke, with Hight first, quickly followed by Gray.

The pedal slapping commensed and they were both on and off the throttles. Both cars started to drift to the right and Gray's Charger smacked the wall at about the 1000 foot mark. Hight was still behind and almost drove across the center line to boot. He gets the win, as Gray's times are DQ'ed.

Robert Hight's incremental times: 60ft-0.897 sec., 330ft-2.656, 660ft-4.239/159.51 mph.
Johnny Gray's incremental times: 60ft-0.901 sec., 330ft-2.547, 660ft-4.162/140.08 mph.
