3:51 p.m. Hagen broke on the burnout and he got out of the car, which was just past the 330-foot marker, so Anderika could make his run. He "went right down Broadway" on a smooth, straight pass.

This is a very important round for these two. If Foster wins, he will be the Division 3 representative in the All-Stars. In Harvanek wins and goes on to win the event, he will be the All-Stars representative.
It was a good drag race, but Foster was a little better on the tree and a little quicker on the track. Chris Foster's incremental margins: 60ft(0.014), 330 ft(0.038), 660ft(0.053), 1,000ft(0.063). MOV: 0.0476 seconds (approximately 17 feet).

Foster will have lane choice against Anderika in the final round.
