---

Left Lane: Jianna Evaristo No Time, Now #18; Best prior run: 9.398/93.99, Was #18
Right Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 8.100/117.39, Now #15; Best prior run: 7.097/191.73, Was #15

3:39 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 65 degrees, relative humidity 32 percent, barometer 29.98 inches, adjusted altitude 1,768 feet, track temperature 88 degrees.

Katie Justice is on the bump spot at 7.107.

Evaristo terrible weekend continues as the bike struggles off the line and goes quiet before 100 feet. She stops on the track before the finish line.

Phillips will not make the field either, as his bike is coasting early too.

---

Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec Runs 10.675/81.91, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.214/198.88, Was #17
Right Lane: Hector Arana Jr No Time, Now #14; Best prior run: 6.937/200.23, Was #14

Two broken runs.

Arana bike goes dead right after the tree and he stops on the track and is pushed back. He is already in the field in #14.

Krawiec's very bad weekend continues, as the bike struggles off the line and runs slowly down the track to miss the show. This is his 255th race, and his 10th DNQ. The last time was at the 2004 Atlanta race.

Right Lane: Matt Smith Runs 6.751/202.64, Now #2; Best prior run: 6.719/202.70, Was #2

Family Affair!

Matt gets a much better RT and a big speed. He can't get his bike to stop on the top end and just noses a bike length into the sand trap. No big problems and he backs it back out and off the track.

Angie runs a tad quicker to stay #4.

Angie Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.062 sec., 330ft-2.838, 660ft-4.327/164.79 mph, 1,000ft-5.624.
