10:05 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 65 degrees, relative humidity 63 percent, barometer 29.05 inches, adjusted altitude 2,011 feet, track temperature 75 degrees.

The final pair of cars for the event. Coughlin has an 18-6 record against Edwards in prior events, 2-0 in final rounds, but Edwards nailed the usually quick Coughlin to the tree and won going away, Coughlin slowing past half track. Coughlin's car was making a lot of "darty" moves, apparently missing the setup for today's changed conditions.

That's it, this event is now in the books.
