Right Lane: Mike Neff Runs 4.135/304.19, Now #1; Best prior run: 4.110/298.01, Was #1
Capps was on a pretty good run until just past the 600 foot mark, then he strikes the tires and has to give up on the run. Neff makes an impressive run, the quickest of the round, and picks up the three bonus points.
That does it for the night. We'll be back at 8:00 with Sportsman eliminations.
