4:29 p.m.

Troy has won twice, but the two wins came in Super Comp. Mia has a rare chance to double up - she is also in the final round in Super Comp. So she's 0-0 in finals, but get's two chances at winning today. If she is able to double up with two wins, she'd be just the 15th driver to do so.

Tedesco gave up quite a bit at the start, then took the stripe, so Coughlin wins for the first time in Super Gas, and Mia will have one more chance to win today in a few minutes.
