Great six light for Harem, but Marko Perivolaris gets the win. MOV: 0.0298 seconds (approximately 7 feet).

6:38 p.m. I didn't see the incident, but Herem's Corvette apparently was involved in an incident after the finish line. He is conscious and alert.

7:00 p.m. Due to the extended time necessary for cleaning up the track after the finish line, the last two pair will be rescheduled, along with Round Three of Top Sportsman until after round one of the Pro's tomorrow.
