Last pair. These two have met eleven times in past races, Kalitta holding a 6-5 edge. Kalitta made another huge pass despite a bright flash from the top of the engine near the 1,000-foot marker, possibly another head gasket failure. Whatever it was didn't slow him much because he continued to open the margin to the stripe. Doug Kalitta's incremental margins: 60ft(0.012), 330 ft(0.025), 660ft(0.054), 1,000ft(0.069). MOV: 0.0753 seconds (approximately 35 feet). Kalitta has lane choice against Romine in the semifinals.
