A good ol' drag race, as they leave close together and run together until near the lights. Krupa slows and gives the win to Renteria.

12:57 p.m. Back to racing, after a little clean up on the top end.

Well, that was weird! Both cars prestage and Lepone's second bulb was blinking. Nicholson staged and then both cars left before the tree came down. Both cars are DQ'ed.
