ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. - Results of round 3 eliminations in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 34th annual K&N Filters SuperNationals presented by Pep Boys:

3:21 PM The weather hasn't changed much all day and it's still overcast. Jeg came in holding an 11-2 edge over Alderman, but he didn't have an edge today. No staging games, Alderman going right in, then beating Jeg away from the starting line. Jeg never made the difference up, his car, his car loose and fishtailing until he gave it up.

KJ came in with a 4-1 edge against Anderson, but Anderson has held a huge performance advantage all day. Kurt got a huge holeshot, but his car darted to the right and he fought it to stay in his own lane. Anderson's run was no thing of beauty, but it fishtailed down the groove and he didn't have to lift. He did lose lane choice in the finals, however, Alderman getting to pick the lanes.
