Rick Cooper 0.068 | 5.127 | 263.1 Todd Paton 0.066 | 7.184 | 114.43

After a dead-even start, Paton was pulling away from Cooper early in the run, but he started spinning the tires, dropping cylinders, and then the engine went dead, raw fuel spewing from the pipes. Rick Cooper's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.017), 330 ft(-0.148), 660ft(0.207), 1,000ft(1.029). MOV: 2.0556 seconds (more than 100 feet). Cooper will not have lane choice when he faces Millican in the semifinals, but the Werner team will be changing engines, the one Millican ran in this round "all used up and in pieces."
