Gaines is through for the weekend. Troy is also running Su[per gas - now he can concentrate on that, their first round of eliminations delayed until this evening by mist this morning.

Marnell's car went to the left, toward the wall, and danced around until he lifted. Carter was the last driver with a chance of bumping Schmidt, so the field is set, though a couple good runs could shuffle the pairings.

One-on-one anyone? Both former NBA stars will be in the starting lineup tomorrow. Hammonds replaces Schmidt as quickest of this session.

Right Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 6.900/200.98, Now #5; Best prior run: 6.865/202.24, Was #5
The two quickest runs of the session, side-by-side.
