Left Lane: John Headley Runs 6.666/158.00, Now #3 Right Lane: Neal Parker Runs 5.732/249.90, Now #2Headley spun the tires coming off the starting line and it sounded as if he never shifted. Parker ran his career best ET and speed but then never opened his chutes. The car went off the track into the sand. We’ll be down here for a while.
