altitude 1,818 feet, track temperature 75 degrees.This will be our first final round of the weekend. These two have one win each against each other. Lombardo comes into the round in 6th place. If he can take the win, he will move into a tie with Annie White for fourth, but she takes the four spot on overall win. That would still make him fifth. Bartone is 39 and 3 in final rounds and won here in 1996. Lombardo is way late at the green and gives all he has to catch a strong Bartone. It's almost too close to call in the lights, as John Lombardo Jr. gets the super close win and the Finals Championship. MOV: 0.0003 seconds (approximately 1 inch). Bartone was right there and did all he could for the win. John Lombardo Jr.'s incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.045), 330 ft(0.003), 660ft(0.012), 1,000ft(0.008).
