Here's a weird one. The chutes on KJ's car popped out in the lanes. And Greg Anderson's crew is helping the
Johnson team re-pack them. Now that's sportsmanship. It's a good thing for Johnson that the NHRA crew always preps
the track after the fuel cars run, as it gave him a few extra minutes.Kurt is 17-4 against Morgan. Morgan lights
both bulbs before KJ pre-stages. Then, Morgan just drives around him. That was a shocker!

A win by WJ would keep Anderson from extending his points lead on KJ. It's not to be, as Anderson grabs the
holeshot, falls behind, and then drives around WJ on the big end.Greg Anderson's incremental margins (negative if
behind): 60ft(-0.015), 330 ft(-0.012), 660ft(-0.001), 1,000ft(0.016). MOV: 0.0246 seconds (approximately 7
