Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 6.573/210.18, Now #10; Best prior run: 6.591/209.20, Was #15

Right Lane: Johnny Gray Runs 6.568/210.14, Now #6; Best prior run: 6.586/209.65, Was #15

Morgan and Gray continued a string of great runs to jump up in the order. This was a career best ET for Morgan and a season best ET for Gray.

Right Lane: Vinnie Deceglie Runs 6.548/210.93, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.580/210.34, Was #16

Another career best ET...this time, it's Deceglie. Coughlin's run would probably have been even quicker had hi car not made a little move toward the center line as it came off the starting line.

Right Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 13.293/64.13, Now #16; Best prior run: 6.576/210.11, Was #16

Johnson's car got a little loose as he launched, so he backed off. Edwards had a strong run that became the third quickest run in Pro Stock history and put him back at the top of the order.
