2:19 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 87 degrees, relative humidity 38 percent, barometer 29.34 inches, adjusted altitude 2,935 feet.

Tough break for Richey and his team. They made it back from the incident in round 2 and broke the car on the burnout in round 3. Harris watched the whole thing then staged and appeared to torch some pistons after half track. We're down for just a few to do a dust and clean.

Who gets to race Harris in the final? It's Jim Murphy! Even at the hit, it was the big Hemi that made the charge on the big end. Both car disappeared behind a wall of smoke but the cleaning only took a few minutes.
