Rit Pustari 0.085 | 4.96 | 231.04 Doug Kalitta 0.081 | 4.526 | 330.63

These two have never raced each other before today. Pustari made a race of it, staying close to about 1,000 feet, then his header flames went out. Kalitta didn't take him lightly, making another very stout run, resetting the Raceway Park speed record in the process. Doug Kalitta's incremental times: 60ft-0.846 sec., 330ft-2.160, 660ft-3.077/274.61mph, 1,000ft-3.853. He has lane choice against Russell in round two.
