5:01 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 80 degrees, relative humidity 18 percent, barometer 27.80 inches, adjusted altitude 4,162 feet, track temperature 98 degrees.

This round will count towards qualifying.

Hartford's engine is almost twice the size of Neff's.

He's too quick on the draw and misses the green by -0.015 to give the easy Comp Shootout win to Clint Neff. The run is good enough to improve his qualifying position though.

Neff dumps early on his winning pass.
