Crawford was the number one qualifier and has been getting faster with every run today. He needed the extra speed right now after Bautista got the better start in the semi-final round. The 148-cubic inch engine in Crawford's Neon had the power he needed to track down Bautista and pass him for the win. Crawford will face Callos in the final round.
