Bareman got a big holeshot and Kerunsky was all over the left lane, but Bareman lost a lot of time early in the run with a big wheelstand and lots of tire shake, and could not catch the yellow Bel Air on the top end. Kerunsky is on his way to his third final round of the year and will have lane choice against Pittman.
