3:32 PM "The battle of the speed shops" goes to Coughlin when Pawuk gets out of the groove, does a full 360 degree spin in the middle of the track, then backs into the left-hand wall. The car got out of the groove early and Pawuk tried to drive through it, but the car got away from him, fishtailing slowly a couple times before going all the way around.
