1:59 p.m. About half an hour ago the clouds started breaking up and now the starting line arrea is bathed in sunshine, a welcome sight after all the clouds and rain we've seen for the last two days. Weather conditions: air temperature 79 degrees, relative humidity 69 percent, barometer 29.97 inches, adjusted altitude 1,641 feet, track temperature 98 degrees.

Hillary Will is 27 today and is making her 27th start. Hartley is making his 25th start and both his father and brother have been in Top Alcohol final rounds here.

No birthday present here, Will's car got the front end up and started drifting toward the centerline, forcing her to pedal it to get the front end down. When it came down, she lost traction. Hartley was on a strong run to half track, 3.166 seconds and 271.30 mph at the 660 clocks, then started spinning the tires on the new asphalt on the top half of the track.
