run:
Left Lane: Dwayne Rice Runs 6.612/210.77, Now #1
Right Lane: Jason Collins Runs 6.696/208.97, Now #2
2:30 PM We're a bit behind schedule with several oildowns during the
Sportsman qualifying sessions. Conditions should be close to perfect for these
cars, especially during the evening sessions today and tomorrow, so the World
record could fall
Left Lane: Chris Holbrook Runs 6.691/208.59, Now #2
Right Lane: Elijah Morton No Time, Now #4
Morton's car didn't fire, so Holbrook ran on a single.
Left Lane: Richard Penland Runs 6.685/208.84, Now #2
Right Lane: Tony Fox Runs 6.697/208.94, Now #5
Two more good runs, but with these conditions they may not even be enough to
make the field after four rounds of qualifying are over.
Left Lane: Tom Lee Runs 6.650/211.43, Now #3
Right Lane: Ron Miller Runs 6.614/210.31, Now #2

spots in the order.
Left Lane: Brian Gahm Runs 6.636/210.31, Now #3
Right Lane: Steve Williford Runs 6.664/206.35, Now #5

the sixties.
Left Lane: Terry Leggett Runs 7.920/126.79, Now #11
Right Lane: Tim Nabors Runs 6.617/209.72, Now #3
Leggett's car was all over the lane for the first 300 feet. Nice pass by
Nabors, the red Cavalier right down the groove.
Left Lane: John Bartunek Runs 6.630/209.17, Now #4
Right Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 6.883/158.07, Now #12
Wilson's car got off the starting line okay, with a 1.01 60-foot time, but
then the car fell off the pace, Bartunek running him down and going by on the top
end as Wilson slowed.
Left Lane: Joel Bayless Runs 10.346/92.20, Now #15
Right Lane: Doug Kirk Runs 6.599/210.41, Now #1
Kirk takes then top spot, but is nine thousandths short of the track
record.
Left Lane: John Montecalvo Runs 6.621/210.73, Now #5
Nice run for Montecalvo in a qualifying session marked by good runs.
Right Lane: Carl Baker Runs 6.862/200.98, Now #14
Baker is in Wally Stroupe's Grand Am and this was his first pass in the
car.

Left Lane: Jason Collins No Time, Now #12
Best prior run: 6.696/208.97, Was #12
9:23 PM The temperatures are cool and dew is forming on the track so not
many pro stockers are willing to run tonight, even though they've run the jet dryer
up and down the track a few times. The crew pushed started the car. When Collins
backed up into the water box, the engine stalled so they gave up on this run.
Left Lane: Tony Fox Runs 14.548/55.61, Now #13
Best prior run: 0.000/208.94, Was #97
9:26 PM The wheelie bar on Fox's car hit the track so hard it threw sparks.
Fox shut it down quickly. The third car that was waiting in line decided not to
run, so that's the end of Pro Stock qualifying round two.

1:24 PM It's partly cloudy and 63 degrees here as the Pro Stock division
starts its third round of qualifying. Humidity is low and the barometric pressure
is high so the times should be good. Both cars looked a little loose - Bishop in
the first half of the race and Jenkins in the second.

Best prior run: 6.599/210.41, Was #1
Right Lane: Joel Bayless Runs 6.801/204.76, Now #15

good run.
Left Lane: Jason Collins Runs 7.140/147.12, Now #13
Best prior run: 6.696/208.97, Was #12
Right Lane: Terry Leggett Runs 6.656/208.46, Now #10
Best prior run: 7.920/126.79, Was #19

engine let go.
Left Lane: Tim Nabors Runs 6.611/209.95, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.617/209.72, Was #4
Right Lane: Brian Gahm Runs 6.647/210.18, Now #8

No Prior Run
Right Lane: Chris Holbrook Runs 9.387/128.51, Now #13
Best prior run: 6.691/208.59, Was #12
Holbrook had a really ugly start. He shook the tires, spun the tires, and
started to go sideways before he shut down.
Left Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 6.532/213.37, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.883/158.07, Was #19
Right Lane: John Bartunek Runs 6.644/209.36, Now #8

Right Lane: Richard Penland Runs 6.694/208.36, Now #14
Best prior run: 6.685/208.84, Was #13
It was hard to get excited about watching this pair after Wilson's run. Both
Fox and Penland made unspectacular runs that keep them in the field.

Right Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 10.066/88.65, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.532/213.37, Was #1

completed one qualifying pass out of four attempts, but it was all he needed to
take the number one spot.
Left Lane: Chris Holbrook Runs 9.572/112.98, Now #15
Best prior run: 6.691/208.59, Was #15
Right Lane: Elijah Morton Runs 6.639/210.93, Now #10

Best prior run: 6.630/211.69, Was #8
Right Lane: Carl Baker Runs 11.402/76.37, Now #19
Best prior run: 6.862/200.98, Was #19
This was Baker's last shot to make the field. He launched, shook the tires
and shut it down so that's the end of his weekend.
Left Lane: John Montecalvo Runs 12.120/82.74, Now #7
Best prior run: 6.621/210.73, Was #7
Right Lane: Steve Williford Runs 10.913/68.12, Now #11
Best prior run: 6.644/208.78, Was #11
Montecalvo made a hard right off the line and Williford made a hard left.
They both shut down and that's good, because they might have met in the middle if
they had not.
Left Lane: Brian Gahm Runs 6.629/210.47, Now #8
Best prior run: 6.636/210.31, Was #9
Right Lane: Ron Miller Runs 11.372/75.78, Now #5
Best prior run: 6.613/210.57, Was #5

three time. Gahm ran strong and bettered his previous qualifying times.
Left Lane: Wayne Bishop Runs 6.804/204.29, Now #19
Best prior run: 7.099/197.62, Was #20
Right Lane: David Jenkins Runs 6.700/208.07, Now #17
Best prior run: 6.730/207.50, Was #17
Jenkins came into this round in 17th place, one spot away from making the
field. He ran five-hundredths of a second too slowly so he'll be going home
early.
Left Lane: Terry Leggett Runs 6.631/209.43, Now #10
Best prior run: 6.656/208.46, Was #13
Right Lane: Tim Nabors Runs 6.579/210.24, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.611/209.95, Was #3
Both drivers made good runs. Nabors had enough to move up one spot in the
qualifying order and Leggett moved up three spots.
Left Lane: Dwayne Rice Runs 6.626/209.82, Now #4
Best prior run: 6.612/210.77, Was #4
Right Lane: Doug Kirk Runs 8.624/108.73, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.599/210.41, Was #3
Kirk crossed the center line at mid-track and backed off. Rice went on to
complete a good run that had no effect on his qualifying position.
Left Lane: Joel Bayless Runs 11.060/87.54, Now #18
Best prior run: 6.801/204.76, Was #18
Right Lane: Jason Collins Runs 6.728/208.52, Now #16
Best prior run: 6.696/208.97, Was #16
Collins came into this round sitting on the bubble. Bayless was the only car
not in the field that has not yet run. As Bayless came off the line, he shook the
tires and shut down. For Collins, the good news is that he is still in the field.
The bad news is that he has to face number one qualifies Gene Wilson in round one
of eliminations.
