5:01 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 81 degrees, relative humidity 31 percent, barometer 29.82 inches, adjusted altitude 1,771 feet, track temperature 108 degrees.

These two have met eight times in the past, Anderson enjoying a 6-2 edge, but this is the first time they have ever met in a final round.

They left right together and that was not a good thing for Stevens because Anderson is unbeatable in the first 300 feet and he had a big lead by the 330-foot marker. Greg Anderson's incremental margins: 60ft(0.017), 330 ft(0.035), 660ft(0.048), 1,000ft(0.056). MOV: 0.0632 seconds (approximately 19 feet).
