Pawuk with the light and the power to win this one on both ends of the track. They change a bulb on the Rickie Smith side of the tree right after that run, so the Smith crew had some questions for the starting line crew. The race stands and Pawuk moves on to the semi-finals.

Yates is out of the gate first, but Warren made up the difference by half track. He then got real loose around 1000 feet, but was able to reel it in and hold on for the win.
