Notable is Warren Johnson with 303 consecutive races where he has qualified. Ron Krisher is next with a significantly lower number at 63 (He not likely to be bumped today). Johnson's last DNQ was at the 1987 Gator Nationals. The conditions are not as good as this morning, but there is a lot more rubber on the track on the top end. A lot of the PS Bikes ran as well or better in their session just completed, so it's far from over. Both cars improve on their prior numbers, but won't make the show. Left Lane: Tom Hammonds Runs 7.256/155.60, Now #30 Best prior run: 7.275/151.92, Was #30 Right Lane: John Nobile Runs 6.899/200.83, Now #27 Best prior run: 6.879/201.04, Was #27 Hammonds continues to struggle, as the car moves toward the guard rail near the lights.

Left Lane: Ben Watson Runs 6.949/198.96, Now #29 Best prior run: 6.928/198.61, Was #29 Right Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 9.882/89.76, Now #25 Best prior run: 6.860/199.64, Was #25 No joy here as Edwards has a problem and has to shut off. Watson slows from his prior effort. Left Lane: Robert Patrick Runs 6.872/200.08, Now #26 Best prior run: 6.861/199.91, Was #26 Right Lane: John Geyer Runs 6.871/200.32, Now #24 Best prior run: 6.859/199.35, Was #24 Almost identical time, but no improvements. Left Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 7.467/202.36, Now #20 Best prior run: 6.848/201.40, Was #20 Right Lane: JR Carr Runs 6.866/200.00, Now #23 Best prior run: 6.853/201.43, Was #23 It's crunch time in the left lane. ... and the party is over! Johnson just doesn't have a chance, with poor 60 foot times and a loose race car on the top end. W Joh: 60ft-1.660 sec., 330ft-3.502, 660ft-5.035/160.63mph, 1,000ft-6.354 Left Lane: Troy Coughlin Runs 6.840/201.22, Now #19 Best prior run: 6.843/200.32, Was #19 Right Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.830/202.06, Now #13 Best prior run: 6.849/202.61, Was #21 Stanfield breaks the pattern and moves into the field.

Allen had problems and shut off. Left Lane: Jamie Yates Runs 13.722/60.39, Now #17 Best prior run: 6.837/201.61, Was #17 Right Lane: Tom Martino Runs 6.841/200.95, Now #16 Best prior run: 6.836/200.47, Was #16 Martino is still not out of the woods. Jamie Yates provides some help, as he has to shut off. Left Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.818/202.58, Now #8 Best prior run: 6.830/202.09, Was #12 Right Lane: Larry Nance Runs 9.697/94.10, Now #15 Best prior run: 6.836/201.07, Was #15 The bump is set and the shuffling for the top half of the field continues. The "Other Johnson Team" shows what it takes and moves into the current top half of the field. Nance has problems and clicks it. Left Lane: Tom Lee Runs 6.821/201.70, Now #11 Best prior run: 6.823/201.88, Was #12 Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 6.824/201.79, Now #13 Best prior run: 6.836/201.19, Was #14 The field continues to shuffle with two good side by side runs.

Left Lane: George Marnell Runs 6.846/201.10, Now #8 Best prior run: 6.813/201.28, Was #8 Right Lane: Darrell Alderman Runs 6.834/201.79, Now #10 Best prior run: 6.818/202.45, Was #10 Neither car can improve, but will be ready for tomorrow's eliminations. Left Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 6.815/202.12, Now #5 Best prior run: 6.802/202.09, Was #5 Right Lane: Mark Whisnant Runs 6.804/201.94, Now #6 Best prior run: 6.811/202.03, Was #6 Two good passes, but no movement in the field.
