Left Lane: Danny Gruninger Runs 6.792/202.97, Now #3 Right Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.798/203.34, Now #4 Ender's has a new 2010 Mustang too and gets the car from start to finish without any drama. She won't be happy with the ET and Speed, but not too bad for a first pass on a new combination. Gruninger almost matches her times to move ahead of her by one spot. Left Lane: Vinnie Deceglie Runs 6.652/207.88, Now #1 Right Lane: Dave Northrop Runs 6.698/206.26, Now #2 We get our first six-sixties with Deceglie moving around a little down low.

Gaines Runs 6.737/205.13, Now #7 Right Lane: Rodger Brogdon Runs 6.648/207.72, Now #1 Brogdon has a little wiggle at the sixty foot lights and still has the beans to take over the top spot. Gaines' times may not hold before we are done today. Left Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 6.671/207.88, Now #6 Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.655/207.94, Now #3 Two clan passes into the current top half of the show. Left Lane: Rickie Jones Runs 6.665/207.75, Now #7 Right Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 6.653/207.85, Now #3 Erica Enders is on the bump spot at 6.798. The younger Johnson has a 0.984 sixty foot time and parlays it into a #3 qualifying spot. A resurgent Jones just misses the top half of the twelve car field. Rickie Jones' incremental times: 60ft-0.989 sec., 330ft-2.794, 660ft-4.292/164.51 mph, 1,000ft-5.580. Kurt Johnson's incremental times: 60ft-0.984 sec., 330ft-2.784, 660ft-4.280/164.85 mph, 1,000ft-5.568. Left Lane: Johnny Gray Runs 6.649/208.01, Now #2 Right Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.658/207.88, Now #7 Gray puts one up on the screen with a big MPH and into the current #2 spot.

Left Lane: Ron Krisher No Time, Now #19 Right Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 9.929/92.87, Now #18 Gordie Rivera is on the bump spot at 6.725. Well, that was weird! Krisher car just sits in the lights at the green and has to be pushed back by his crew. Coughlin has a fair leave and then has the Cobalt go wacky after sixty feet and he has to lift. Left Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.659/208.26, Now #9 Right Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.655/208.62, Now #5 Both car jiggle around at the launch and then scoot down the track without any more drama.

Well, is all but over, as soon as the two drivers saw green light. Edwards' pass gives him enough points to unofficially ensure the 2009 Pro Stock Championship. It will all be official on Saturday at the end of qualifying. Once again, Edwards power prevails with the quickest and fastest pass of the session. Anderson gets bragging rights for RT, but has to settle for the number two spot, both on the ladder and in the 2009 points. Two great looking passes Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-0.981 sec., 330ft-2.774, 660ft-4.264/164.71 mph, 1,000ft-5.555.

Both of Anderson's chutes pop out on the burnout and the crew frantically works to get them back in the packs. Edwards shows his sportsmanship and patiently waits. No burn out for the Summit car and he still gets a 0.985 sixty foot time to help move him up into the #4 spot on the tough Pro Sports ladder. Another killer pass for Edwards, but he can't improve on his prior best pass. BTW: The chutes worked in the lights! Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-0.985 sec., 330ft-2.772, 660ft-4.254/166.21 mph, 1,000ft-5.529.

Lots of smoke from Line's car down track. Must not of been too bad, as he loses just 0.002 in ET, but picks up some MPH. Similar situation for Anderson on ET and MPH. They stay in their current positions on two good clean4:10 p.m. runs. Jason Line's incremental times: 60ft-0.981 sec., 330ft-2.761, 660ft-4.241/166.66 mph, 1,000ft-5.515.

I think it's time we "Chartered" our way to the next round with a little "Attitude"! Sorry, Ronnie!!" Looks like the old rooster knew what was going on, as Brogdon runs a near career best ET.
