This is the first time Cowie and Dreher have faced each other in eliminations.

The two made their burnout and started to lull up to stage, then were signaled to shut their engines off and the stands started to clear...it's raining. The race teams are towing the cars back to the pits and, right now, the radar doesn't look good.
