CLERMONT, Ind. - Notes from final, round 5 qualifying in Pro Stock at the 46th annual U.S. Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Mark Pawuk Runs 7.001/196.07, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.986/195.96, Was #4 Right Lane: Mike Thomas Runs 7.070/193.93, Now #27; Best prior run: 7.100/194.58, Was #31 7:11 PM This could prove interesting. The sun is low in the sky, behind clouds, and the air is cooling. We could see wholesale changes. Then again, we could see a session like the final truck session, the only changes at the bottom of the field. Left Lane: Bob Benza Runs 7.124/193.60, Now #29; Best prior run: 7.082/194.24, Was #29 Right Lane: Tom Hammonds Runs 7.051/194.77, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.062/194.55, Was #23 The mark these drivers are shooting at is V.
