3:46 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 74 degrees, relative humidity 50 percent, barometer 30.22 inches, adjusted altitude 1,291 feet, track temperature 102 degrees.

Martel comes in with nine wins, three this year, including two weeks ago in Memphis. His first career win came here in '98. Stanfield has one win, also here, in '99.

Arnie Martel has a 0.22 CIC penalty; Allen Stanfield has a 0.08 CIC penalty.

Despite the huge CIC penalty, Martel notches his tenth win, fourth of the season when Stanfield gave back most of the CIC penalty with a late light. Unbelievable! Stanfield also takes a permanent index "hit" in a losing cause.
