Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.980/203.92, Now #14; No Prior Run

Both cars shake and move towards the centerline. Gray's is the worst of the two and he has to lift. Morgan must have pumped the throttle, as he runs a lot slower than earlier.

Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 6.585/210.87, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.551/210.83, Was #1

Strong leave for Edwards and he matches his prior best performance, with just a little slower MPH, to stay #12.

Our number one qualifier, Gaines is a little slow off the line and doesn't improve.
