5:50 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 82 degrees, relative humidity 34 percent, barometer 30.07 inches, adjusted altitude 1,570 feet, track temperature 117 degrees.

Ellis has had four final round wins in his Pro Stock Motorcycle career. These two have never met in a final and are currently tied over with one win a piece. Brown was the runner up at this event in 2004 and has fifteen total wins. Brown goes red and hands this one over to Ellis at the hit. It appears Ellis left parts laying on the track so that really rubs salt into Brown's wounds. Ouch!
