Line refuses to be shaken and takes his normal time going in. When the tree flashes, he sends a message to Connolly that he can play all the games he wants. To make things worse for Dave, his car moves to the centerline like the rest of the cars in the left lane this session.

After a .004 light, Line pulls out the quick time of the session. We're all getting used to the thought of calling him champ.

Dave Connolly's incremental times: 60ft-1.009 sec., 330ft-3.340, 660ft-6.277/074.98mph, 1,000ft-9.468

Line tells Anderson which lane to use and Martino gets his choice over Yates in the semifinals.
