4:00 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 73 degrees, relative humidity 20 percent, barometer 30.01 inches.

Looks like it is over at the start as Ogburn red lights. Houser's free pass to the final goes bad after the 330 as the Hemi drifts over and scraps the guardrail. Ogburn will get to go to the finals.
