4:50 PM The track has cooled off to 96 degrees, with an overcast, so traction should be better than it has been all day. Craig got the light, but his car was all over the lane, shaking, and Newberry went right down the groove with yet another mid-sixty elapsed time. That's 41 national event wins for "Newb."
