Right Lane: Carl Spiering Runs 6.172/230.71, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.211/229.88, Was #8 Nice pass by Spiering, keeping the car in the groove all the way down the track despite its attempts to move toward the centerline.

Stott shook early and threw in the towel, but D'Aprile continues to outrun the field once again, the only run under 6.10 for the second round in a row. And his windshield was coated with oil when he got to the other end, so that bullet may be wounded. With just one shot left, D'Aprile remains #1, but the
rest of the field was completely rearranged and Dennis Radford is on the bump spot at 6.251.
