Left Lane: Bubba Stanton Runs 3.663/205.27, Now #2; Best prior run: 3.650/206.64, Was #2
Right Lane: Steve George Runs 3.952/188.71, Now #14; Best prior run: 3.988/184.97, Was #14

Stanton kept getting closer and closer to the centerline and he never lifted. He missed the timing reflectors by inches. George flogged the school bus a little harder this time out, improved slightly.

Left Lane: Larry Jeffers Runs 4.090/188.06, Now #16; Best prior run: 4.106/184.94, Was #15
Right Lane: Eric Dillard Runs 3.888/210.48, Now #13; No Prior Run

Dillard stepped way up, then shed a body part or two in the lights. Jeffers failed to improve and Dillard's run put Jeffers on the bump spot.
