6:22 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 87 degrees, relative humidity 38 percent, barometer 29.36 inches, adjusted altitude 3,168 feet, track temperature 112 degrees.

Anderson is 19 - 13 against Stanfield in prior events and 2 - 0 against Stanfield in prior final rounds. However, Stanfield has been very tough on the tree all day and just watched his Nitro Fish teammate win the two-wheeled Pro Stock category and give "Captain Chaos" double wins in two consecutive events.

Stanfield was once again first off the line, but only by a hundredth and Anderson had that made up before the 330-foot marker, then steadily pulled away for the win. Greg Anderson's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.007), 330 ft(0.008), 660ft(0.022), 1,000ft(0.029). MOV: 0.0378 seconds (approximately 12 feet). That moves Anderson into second place in the championship Countdown to One, 27 points behind Mike Edwards.
