6:17 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 84 degrees, relative humidity 25 percent, barometer 29.66 inches, adjusted altitude 2,154 feet, track temperature 104 degrees.

The four quickest AA-cars are ready to determine the final round pairing, going for a $10,000 winner-takes-all prize. Of course, with a conservatively-estimated $4 million worth of race cars going for the Challenge title, it's not about the money.

Westcott dispatched Pancake and will wait at the end of the track to see who his opponent will be.
