7:54 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 59 degrees, relative humidity 59 percent, barometer 29.13 inches, adjusted
altitude 1,433 feet, track temperature 64 degrees.This is a classy matchup...and not the only one we'll see this round.
Langdon's car danced around when it came off the throttle stop, but so did Phillips' car. Both drivers were well off the index
and the track crew went out and took a good look at the track, then the tractor made several laps with the tire drag and broom to
tighten the cool track up a bit.
