11:29 a.m. - This is the first time Guest and Kosky have faced each other in eliminations. Kosky was runner up here last year to John Finke. His last national event win came at Maple Grove in 1999. Guest went to the finals in Houston and Chicago this year and won in Chicago.

Guest got off the starting line first but it really didn't matter as Kosky's car broke the blower belt as soon as he launched.
