MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Results of round 2 eliminations in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the 12th annual AutoZone Nationals presented by Pennzoil:

   2 Angelle Seeling     7.294 182.13  Q    7 Tony Mullen         7.359 179.23
   (R Ayers     ) 0.475  7.321 176.01  E1   (L Cook      ) 0.438  7.381 175.89

4:47 PM Both these two are "good leavers," so a holeshot didn't appear likely. But Mullen found a way to get the early edge and almost pulled it off, the margin of victory = 0.034 seconds (approximately 9 feet).
