Wild! Stoken shook violently and lifted. Suite had a freebie, then his car started fishtailing and dancing, getting very close to the centerline several times - a review of video tape and a hard look at the tire tracks confirmed that he never crossed the senter stripe. Great job of driving.

Another wild one...Laurita went right down the groove(no suspense there) but Jackson was in hot pursuit and a bit out of the groove, the hood blowing off the car at half track, and he never lifted.

Laurita will have lane choice against Suite in the final round.
