Biondo was the wheel up for a long time and the Camaro starts to pull towards the centerline. He gets it back straight, when the wheels come down, and takes the easy win.

Glasbrenner's Firebird moves about a foot at the green and stops. He is pushed back and the starting line crew has to do some serious clean up.

11:33 a.m. In Round Five: Pond vs. Hatch; Cannan vs. Biondo; and Iacono gets the bye run.
