6:35 p.m. A very light rain has began to fall and we're on hold. 6:49 p.m. and we're back to
racing. Freese made a move to the left after the launch. The car then moved hard right, crossed the
centerline, rolled and hit the right side retaining wall at half track. The car continued down the
track on its roof, and came to a stop at the finish line. The word from the top end is, Freese is
not injured. 7:12 p.m. The track has been cleared, but the decision has been made to call it a day
here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Racing will resume in the morning at 8:00 a.m., beginning with
round three eliminations in Super Comp.
