Right J.R. Todd 373 7 .609 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Todd's crew are making a last minute thrash before starting the engine. Campbell is told to start the engine and make his burn out. Campbell is just crossing the starting line, as Todd pulls up without a burnout. Todd is still having problems, as the car rolls away at the green. The call from the starting line is that the management system air supply was broken. Campbell was on a good pass until after the 330 lights, where the front end starts to clime and he has to lift. He gives up lane choice to Capps next round.
