Kerunsky, on holeshot. The two were dead-even at half track and 1,000 feet, then Kerunsky edged ahead for the win. Glen Kerunsky's incremental margins: 60ft(0.004), 330 ft(0.008), 660ft(0.000), 1,000ft(0.000). MOV: 0.0058 seconds (approximately 23 inches).

E2                   0.037  6.350 221.07     ****WINNER****  0.061  6.173 226.13

Radford had the better light, but Bareman made that up by 60 feet, so Radford was probably deep-staged. Then Bareman pulled away for a two car length win. That gives Bareman lane choice against Kerunsky in the semifinals.
