10:59 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 76 degrees, relative humidity 22 percent, barometer 28.95 inches, adjusted altitude 2,565 feet, track temperature 88 degrees.

Uh oh...I see smoke just over the hills here at the track and since So Cal is on fire I think we might have a right to be a bit worried. Wright is a no show so Castillo gets the single.
