2:46 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 76 degrees, relative humidity 77 percent, barometer 29.95 inches, adjusted altitude 2,011 feet, track temperature 104 degrees.

Anderson is 20 - 7 against Johnson in prior events.

Both drivers have been sawing the tree down today - AJ was 0.016 and 0.018 in the first two rounds, Greg was 0.013 and 0.018. Odds are, somebody is going red...Nope, but Johnson went into tire shake immediately and the race was over quickly.

Gaines did a smokeless burnout, not good. Johnson is 13 - 4 against Gaines in prior events.

Gaines went red, then shook and lifted. KJ went right down the lane, but spun the tires hard on the launch and Anderson will have lane choice in the finals.
