Kalitta makes up the difference on the starting line at the 330' mark and starts to pull away. He gets about 700 feet out and starts hazing the tires. The engine starts mixing up cylinders, then Hartman-Smith drives around and takes the upset win. She will take on Schumacher in round two, Schumacher with lane choice.

Kalitta blew the engine just before he went through the lights, deposits some oil on the track, and we'll be down for a few minutes for cleanup.
