3:49 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 81 degrees, relative humidity 18 percent, barometer 28.94 inches, adjusted altitude 2,908 feet, track temperature 92 degrees.

We will have a first-time winner because neither driver has been to a national event final round before today.

Kelly had the better light, but took too much stripe and Zak earns his first-ever national event "Wally."
