Bazemore has a good run, but Pedregon's Green Machine was awesome. The green machine started to spin the tires at the top end of the track, then blew up the supercharger in the lights. The blast opened the visor on Pedregon's helmet and he g ot some vapors and stuff in his eyes, but he's OK and going to the final round.

Tony got a good jump on the boss's hound dog, but rattled the tires and got over near the left side wall. He came this >< close to the wall, but managed to avoid it. Force was long gone by that point, and his Mustang will have lane choice in the final over Cruz Pedregon.
