tate lunging forward. peyton manning face off against the dolphins in their wildcat scheme. colts/dolphins on "monday night football" served by applebee's. ronnie brown, former tiger running back and pat white former quarterback for the mountaineers. >> bob: west virginia used the time-out. we need to talk about chris todd, the quarterback from auburn. you know, last year, not healthy. played, shoulder surgery in december. had no velocity on the football. the fans booed him. the football team was divided. no spring practice. came in and won the job. you talk about a background. goes to high school in kentucky. his dad is a coach. goes to texas tech for two years. leaves texas tech, goes to hutchinson junior college in kansas and comes in here really because of tony franklin last year's coordinator who he had a relationship with because he was a consultant for his high school when they put the offense in. it's been a long journey but he's thrown four touchdown passes. >> mark: 16 of 30 overall for 284 yards. >> bob: big third down, mark. >> mark: able to rocket all the way to the top of the depth chart. third and seven. they're coming after him. got it off and incomplete. boy, they were in hot pursuit. goulbourne was a hair away from bringing him down for a sack. >> bob: he had mario fannin wide open but you mentioned just so much pressure he could not get the football out of there. going to watch right here, west virginia comes with the field blitz about five coming from the feed. rolls out, just not enough steam right there to get the football to mario fannin and west virginia with two time-outs in a position to take this football game get on the field and win it, mark. >> mark: slow snap. bounced back to durst. this one goes into the end zone. it'll come back out to the 20 yard line so plenty of time to go on the 39-yard punt. west virginia, 80 yard as way from making it happen. come on. come on. come on. there for you... ( car starts ) and life's daily miracles. ♪ who's the best? this guy is. ♪ ( clapping ) in this football game right now is tyler bitancurt missing this extra point, mark, in the third quarter. if he makes that extra point, it's a three-point game and west virginia is playing for a field goal to tie it. instead it is a four-point game and they need a touchdown to win it. that's a huge difference right now in this football game. >> mark: certainly capable. 34-30. first down and ten for the mountaineers. incomplete. intended for wes lyons. both teams at that 30-point mark and good things happen for both of them. west virginia has won 60 of the last 61 when scoring 30 or more. auburn has won 51 consecutive games when scoring 30 or more. one of those going to come to an end tonight. >> bob: west virginia only one time-out left in this game. >> mark: on the screen, into traffic, picked off. touchdown, stevens. >> bob: mark, that fan is texting back right now and saying take that play out of the playbook if you're west virginia. second interception on that middle screen tonight and that's five turnovers in this football game for west virginia. >> mark: very un-jarrett brown-like. >> bob: well, they all led the score. you talk about five turnovers that all led to scores. >> mark: ted roof, the defensive coordinator said they got a lot. >> bob: again, the middle screen. wanted to go underhand. went overhand. ted stevens tips it to himself. he wants to? underhand. flips it over the top. >> mark: that indecision cost him and the happiest guy, the guy who made the hire. >> bob: don't think for a second he doesn't realize how big 3-0 for gene chizik is. from 5-19. forget about 5-19, iowa state, that's a long time ago. this young guy right here, we talked about ball security. i thought he would get stripped because he hands that football out but it did come down to ball security with the interceptions and the sloppiness. >> mark: auburn has been extr e extremely opportunistic on jarrett brown turnovers. leading by 11. "gq" magazine. did you see that? the interior "positively oozes class," raves "car magazine." "slick and sensuous," boasts "the washington times." "the most striking vw in recent memory," declares-- okay, i get it already. i think we were in a car commercial. ♪ yeah ♪ yeah. >> mark: well, the old saying goes that rereng is a dish best served coal. this one tonight has been served cold and wet. so far by the auburn tigers leading 41-30. i'm mark jones along with bob davie here at jordan-hare stadium on a night where we got off the kickoff an hour late because of severe weather in the area. and west virginia mountaineer fans looking downcast. >> bob: thinking about that long drive home but west virginia with three interceptions in the last three possessions, mark. >> mark: flag on the play. ball rolls out of bounds. no matter how successful auburn has of a season it will always be measured with reference to their neighbor down the road in tuscaloosa, alabama. >> bob: no question about that, mark. you are know, they have ball state coming in here. ball state has not won a football game this year and go on the road, tennessee, arkansas, tough away schedule obviously. i mean they're in the southeastern conference but you're right, i mean the success that nick saban has added to alabama no question it's raised the questions because tommy tuberville had great success over them. >> mark: turnovers telling the story tonight. 3:40 to go. brown escapes when it looked like he might be sacked. back at the 32 yard line. great pressure by nick fairley. >> bob: he is a true freshman quarterback from florida. that does not look good. clutching that left wrigs. obviously in pain. >> mark: took a hit after he got rid of the bob. >> bob: nick fairley at 300 pounds landed legitimately on top of him but i really hate to see this. jarrett brown paid his dues waiting four years to play. think of all he has invested, mark. >> mark: seems unfair for waiting as long as he has taking over from pat white he should be able to play the season without injury. >> bob: you see the concern of his teammates over there right in front of that west virginia bench. i mean he's in pain. >> mark: came in with pretty good stats but -- >> bob: tough night. mark. he's played the key role in turnovers. heard the first interception by neiko thorpe. one of two interceptions on the little middle screen. here's the other cornerer, mcfadden with the interception and game breaker, nick stevens tips it to himself and the fifth is the fumble so jared bro brown. i don't want to speculate but a pretty significant wrist injury. >> mark: gene smith new quarterback out of miramar. and he got rocked. knocked down by antonio coleman who is shaken up earlier comes back. >> bob: he goes easier than jarrett brown goes down. jarrett brown would have bounced off that one. >> mark: it'll go. smith completes the pass. nice move by sanders and sanders' forward progress marked. >> bob: 6'3", 19 a. a good-looking athlete. >> mark: 14-yard gain on the play. smith up top. and it's incomplete at the 25 yard line. a wrestling match for the ball between neiko thorpe and bradley starks. 2:49 to go. west virginia with just one time-out remaining. >> bob: this auburn team 5-7 last year. 2-6 in the s.e.c. chance to jump out 4-0 in the season. >> mark: boy, in and out of the happens of starks. dot to help your quarterback out a little built. welcome, everyone, to the s.e.c. on espn college football prime time. a game that you've seen auburn come back from being down early a couple touchdowns. this one is complete. came right back to starks. starks pushed out of bounds shy of the 40 yard line. smith a high-school all american. >> bob: ball game. fourth downing and about three, west virginia obviously has to convert right here. >> mark: tough spot for the true freshman to come in. >> referee: please start the game clock. >> bob: with two teams i'm sure we don't have more mishaps. >> mark: fourth and three. needs to convert. picked off. josh bynes with the interception. another mountaineer turnover. great push. this crowd is wet. probably don't smell great but they are enjoying the heck out of it. the push by the defensive line. steps up in the pock just gets engulfed in the sixth turnover of the night and how about gene chizik. the best feeling in the world. >> mark: kodi burns in as quarterback. picked up five on the play. >> bob: big story, west virginia moving forward. health of jarrett brown leaving auburn, alabama tonight. >> mark: still ahead of this team. >> bob: they'll be a player. don't think for one second they won't have a chance to win the big east conference. >> mark: 9-3 and a seeing ago. second and five coming up for the tigers. think about the road this auburn team has traveled in about a year, bob, you and i saw them against mississippi state. there's burns going to run it again. burns was the backup quarterback going into that game a year ago for mississippi state. here we are, different coaching staff. he's a backup quarterback again but under much different circumstances. >> bob: auburn hat a long way to go. chizik will be the first to tell you west virginia helped auburn immensely. you don't turn it over six times. they have almost 4 eye yards offense but what a positive start because now those players, they buy into what you're selling because it all comes down to success. >> mark: likes to use the analogy of stocks telling everyone he'll be cautious about buying stock in auburn. i'm on a sack by him and looking brighter after tonight's performance. under a minute to go with 55 seconds to play. mountaineers still in its embryonic phases. >> bob: you see marshall, connecticut, right in the middle of it and all of a sudden, cincinnati. the bearcats. the team to beat in the big easeas east. got a big win in corps value list. >> mark: dill yard at receiver. >> bob: people probably get tire of hearing from us how unique the southeastern conference is. that rainstorm tonight and then the reaction of these fans by sitting that rainstorm. the music playing, they're rocking. another reason it makes this conference unique. they didn't bail out of here and it's rained as hard as i've ever seen. >> it was delayed for a little over an hour. punt from durst. they're going to let it bounce all the way down inside the 15 yard line. when the rain was coming you know who my vmp was, the pa announcer. they put that song on, creedence clearwater survival. have you ever seen the rain? >> bob: livened up the party. >> mark: moving and shaking. >> bob: here it is. this is this a torrential downpour right now. >> mark: you're not going to ask me to sing the song? >> bob:. no, when you talk about an event, these college football games are events. >> mark: completes this one to john sand he. >> bob: we can't leave without talking about the huskies and steve sarkisian. we had them late in the year answer notre dame. we had them early against lsu. huge transformation. >> mark: things looking a lot different in the pac-10. smith completes the pass to wes lyons. west virginia started off out of the game real quick but end up on the short one of this. gene chizik's team atoned for the last last year, 34-17 and said something real important about the juteny he faced. he doesn't look to anyone or anything for validation. gets it from within. the scoreboard going to do some validation for the tigers as they win it, 41-30 improving to 3-0 on the season, mountaineers 3-0 on the season, mountaineers falling to 2-1. captions by vitac >> mark: turnovers the story of the night. mountaineers had way too many of them including some untimely bicks that led directly to points for the tigers. once again, the final score, coming up, the nhra's carolina's qualifying. for bob davie and mark jones, so long, everybody. ago, tempers flared. today, the zmax dragway in charlotte, the playoffs begin and john force and pedregon brothers need to put aside the harsh words. >> say it to me, have a little spine. >> unfortunately for john, i know what's going on. >> last race, robert hight needed to reach the final round to get into the countdown to the championship. the only thing that stood in his way, teammate john force. force lost and that led to claims that he threw the race. >> think i'm afraid of you? i just had enough. i'm standing up for my rights. >> you ain't going to do that to me. >> you want to watch wrestling, they can go to wrestling, they want to watch drag racing they tune into nhra. zbru run off your moth you embarrass yourself. >> the stress of the countdown pushs drivers their limits and their machines even farther. with just six races left in the 2009 season, everyone is feeling the nhra heat. for more, let's go to dave rieff. >> two championships, one with john force racing, one for himself, today he begins his quest for a third championship as point leader in what figures to be a tense and temperamental countdown to the championship in funny car. here's gary gerould. >> 14 time champion john force, emotions ran white hot. now he says he's still mad at tony pedregon because tony left the team after the 2003 season. but the irony remains as we go into the countdown to the championship here in charlotte, john force has four cars running for the championship and they're all chasing tony pedregon. check in now with john. >> cruz pedregon is reigning champion but did not make into the countdown for the championship. however, he can play the role of the spoiler and possibly help his brother, tony, win a third funny car title. >> and this was the moment that started it all. robert hight needed to win in round to get into the countdown to the championship. you look at it. judges for yourself. what did john force do? the pedregons took offense. >> there wasn't a person in the whole pit area thought that wasn't going to happen, force -- >> i guess the blatantness of what happened kind of took me and when the microphone was in my face, i -- didn't want to come off like that. but i said what i was feeling at the time. but it's over now. >> i think there was a lot of pressure of the moment. i think that the tv caught up with it and the media. i think the pedregons caught in the middle of it. they didn't want to be in the middle of it. didn't want to be in the middle of it. it got itself loose. got out of control. >> i maintain my position. i did then. i thought long and hard about it, received hundreds and hundreds of e-mails, a lot of them good, a lot of them not so good. i am happy and glad that the, our audience is so passionate because in the end, i understand both sides. i understand john's position and maybe it's something i didn't really think about, but sometimes you don't have time or you don't have a chance to think about some of these things when you're adrenaline is going and so much at stack. >> everybody knew i wanted robert in the countdown, that's my job. okay? so went on down the road and so when it happened to line up on the charts, didn't line up the charts, everybody assumed that was going to happen. it's like branding a man, i won't say that word but like branding a man when you're wrong, even if you apologize, the damage is already done. >> it appeared that john didn't do the best job of losing a race and again, with respect to john, it was something that i saw that our whole audience saw, i think we just disagree on how it went down. again, was that then and this is now. >> big fight starts today. last week was not even important. but for the moment, i have to focus, if i want to get in my head and stay all day aggravated i can't drive my car. when this interest aview's done done whist. >> i r a new of points, john force is right, the big fight starts today. the countdown to the championship and to his credit, at the u.s. nationals he tried several times to back away from any accusations back toward the pedregons and tony pedregon makes the point, this is a sport of great passion. not only in the racers and teams, but in the fans as well. and as for cruz, microphone's in your face and the day's world, either a network camera or somebody's cell phone but somebody's going to record it. >> paul, you talk about the passion of this incident, i can tell you, this has gone back since early '70s, teams made questionable races since that time, what's different now, though, couple of things. in 2007 after reading they made the rule against going up there and giving a race away. the other thing is, you talk about our biggest race of the season. the mac tools u.s. nationals, that is a huge race. third thing is, you're getting down to one run that's going to determine the fate of a season for either robert hight or cruz pedregon. you throw those things together, passions flare, i can tell you, what all it's doing is seth up for what i think is going to be a great yountdown to the 2009 a great yountdown to the 2009 full throttle championship. captioning provided by espn, inc. the nhra full throttle drag racing series, we're on the air again this time the carolinas nationals from zmax dragway in charlotte. the fans are still into it. they have the towels out and almost forgotten is ashley force hood, who took the wally, funny car, first time for a woman at the u.s. nationals and this weekend, fighting food poisoning. and ron capps, he sits second in the points. is this the time that he finally gets that elusive championship? our coverage starts with friday night qualifying. and so here on a solo is tony pedregon, number one in the points and now has a 30-point lead over ron capps. a bit of an advantage by being number one but he's already lost three points to mike neff under this new system of having qualifying points. neff was fastest in the first session and so, he picks up three points in the championship. and here are the standings as they are right now. neff, hight, force hood. that's all john force racing. those three will get points, three, two and one. jack beckman rounds out the top eight. >> the four stop, 429. tony pedregon, shut off the starting line, fuel leak, that's why he's the first pair out for the evening session. >> number one qualifier in las vegas, chicago and seattle. first time down the track. 4.158. sixth, that's where he'll go now. moves up to six head of tim k l wilkerson. >> i think that first run probably hurt them, not getting that pass because of the fuel leak. you take a look at tony pedregon in session number one. over there, they're working on, looks like the barrel valve a fuel metering that -- two things can go wrong, obviously get fuel underneath the tire. smoke the tires, if it's leaking won't get proper amount of fuel in the engine, the engine would burn up before it got to the finish line. heed that no choice but to shut the engine down. >> not just that fuel there and car's running and those are brave people to lean over it. >> oh, yeah. >> i wouldn't be doing that. >> sure you would, paul. >> i don't know. here's jeff arend and cruz pedregon. let's talk about the qualifying bonus points, which have been instituted by the nhra for this playoff series leading down to the championship. >> recognize records, 20-point bonus for nitro 1,000 foot elapsed time, no point fos speed. three bonus points for low ct at each qualifying session and down to two and one for the third lowest of each of those qualifying sessions. >> so for a starting point they pick up the current top fuel and funny car ets as the record that can't be broken by whoever ran those, they get no points. arend, 16th and cruz who was 17th, and cruz goes number one, arend only makes it to six feet. but to show you unforgiving drag racing has become, there is in cruz pedregon, your 2008 funny car champion and he doesn't even make it into the countdown. >> on board with cruz pedregon, that's about normal but look at on the racetrack itself. remember how much he was working that wheel. you saw it make a little move early, had to make an adjustment, probably made that other adjustment and down track, look how much that front end dropped toward the finish line. wow. >> not just dropping, it's dragging. is that why they call it drag racing? no, we've been through that. dwoen we don't know, do sfwhe we? >> ron capps, raced in the prelude to the dream with tony stewart and kelty on the left side. these are the,000-foot records for elapsed time and speed. only elapsed time if you break the record will get you the points. >> right now that's ron capps, 4.02 with i 4.023 at phoenix. >> ron capps not yet in the field, neither is kelly, for that maet. looks like capps is putting out a power, 4.164 moves him up to tenth. >> i would have thought further. kelly stays in 15th. >> let's look at the weather here. beautiful evening. any time it's not raining it's a beautiful evening. 76 degrees. 97 grains of water grain per pound of air, anything over 100 is a lot of moisture, geerting to that point. track temperature a nice 88 degreeses. >> and john force and del worshams to the line now. let's take you to the 2003 at memphis. john does have anger issues. >> we all got issues, paul. i got plenty of issues. >> don't you say that to me. don't talk to me like that. >> qualify, final qualifying session in memphis, john took offense, thought that lee beard and his driver was taking their time staging and john just felt it was uncalled for and he voiced his opinion against beard over that fact. >> john force was in. he runs a 4.122 moves him up to second and that second place, remember, if he stays there, that is worth two points. austin coil is back. good to see him lumbering around the road there. that's cool. worsham up to sixth from 13th. >> nice pass. john with that 4122 puts him in number two. worsham a little over a hundredth of a second, that was only good for the six kt spot for the time bhefg. >> this week we sat down with john force and got to talk to him about the altercation at the big go with tony pedregon. >> i would say to tony after all of the years that i've known him, i still don't understand, i saw a different person. even in the heat of battle. but on the other side, i see a champion, but i keep seeing his little girls in that tow vehicle and so if i wanted to sit here and say you're a little jerk, i'm not going to do it and i'm not saying that i feel that way because deep down in my heart when i love somebody, i love them forever. >> and speaking of those john force loves, ashley force hood, over on the far side, the indy winner and matt hagan. look at all of the nascar boys. rusty wallace, that's rusty there in the yellow shirt. tim brewer is down there. and mr. excitement, jimmy spencer is in the house! wow, look at that. good times. take you back though two weeks because this was the moment. ashley force hood, taking her win at the u.s. nationals. >> well-deserved win, she ran very well all day long. good reaction times. got her first u.s. nationals victory in a fuel funny car. wanted to say hi, they said we couldn't, they were running ivs on her because she had food poisoning. two full bags of iv fluids to get her hydrated and on the line. 4.113 moves her to second. so despite food poisoning, she made two sessions now and sits second in w track speed record. >> that record is 307 miles per hour but elapsed time. this won't catch cruz pedregon's 4.08. cruz made a very good run, make no mistake about it, but i thought somebody would have possibly ran a bit quicker, at least closer to that elapsed time. ashley so far the kwloests that 4.11. >> he can focus with the nascar game, maybe talk somebody into investing in his team. >> ashley force a little slow getting out. that poor girl does not feel good at all. robert hight and mike neff, currently fifth and six the. for hight 4.096, for neff 4.161. hight will move up to second. >> wow. that sthing moved pretty good. i tell you what. cruz pedregon ends up number one qualifier. robert hight, very nice pass with that 4.09 to get into the number two spot and final pointeds for this session with ashley force hood with that 4.11. take another look at robert hight. running 262 miles per hour at the eighth mile and 307 at the finish. mike neff not too far behind. not the run he was looking for. ran 4.16, 4.12 in the first session. looked like nice flames and probably put a sill ender out down track and slowed him down a bit. >> jimmy spencer at the line. look at that. isn't that great? whoa! that just went right over me there. how do you do it? john force continues to hold a little court, tell a few stories. i wonder if he can top rusty's stories. they're both good. as get accustomed to the new bonus points here in the playoff for qualifying, robert hight has earned four over the first two sessions. now, remember, he's tenth in the points. anything he can pick up is very important. and let's look at the standings as well in funny car. as they are right now. cruz pedregon, robert hight, ashley force hood, all of the way down to matt hagan. >> great track conditions and you carryover, you see ron capps in the 12th spot with 4.16 right below tony pedregon. >> those first and second in the points. not yet in, arend, beckman, he's in the points fight. kelley and gilbertson and what's coming up, it will be top fuel and they've had their moments of passion as well. remember this one? >> this isn't friday night fights, this is nhra full throttle drag racing. stay with us. we got more action here in we got more action here in ♪ ♪ it's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife ♪ ♪ ♪ even i've been workin' man danged near all my life ♪ ♪ keep on workin' ♪ ♪ long as my two hands are fit to use ♪ ♪ lagana, session one top fuel at zmax. >> when that belt comes off, back end rotating around and bounces side to side on big goor slicks. brings it safely to a stop. >> and coming up to the line is clay mill can. tenth in the points and they changed everything on this car. we'll show you the standings, antron brown, herbert and schumacher, and rob fuller is eighth. cory mcclenathan, mill cannot in the show as of yet. >> clay millican battling with joe hartley -- >> hartley couldn't make it to this race. wow. where was he going? all over the place. millican, only a 4.026. >> well, take another look at this. mcmillen left way before the green light came on drove to the center. i think what possibly happened he started to two-step it. you saw it there. put down the throttle and went after it because he got distracted when terry mcmillen left the starting line too soon and what happens there for clay, that screws up the timing of the fuel systems and other systems and could have contributed to running only that 4.02 elapsed time. >> and here at the carolinas nationals brandon bernstein and doug foley, reminder of what comes up on sunday. nhra race day presented by lucas oil, with mike and dave and the finals, espn2, 7:00 in the evening. brandon bernstein, he is a contender in the the battle for playoffs, but 13th not in the field. that's doug foley on the other side. that should put brandon in, a 3.86, moves him up to third. and is the quickest run of this session. right now, third place. remember, first place pays off three. second place, two third place, one. right now he's got a point. >> had to run quicker than a 3.91 to get into the top 12 and boy, did he ever at 3.86, puts him in the number three spot currently, nice pass by the team. >> coming up, larry dixon, number one qualifier last year and tony schumacher, who tied big daddy for indy race wins at eight. here is the 1,000-foot records and remember, e.t., you get 20 points if you can break that record. >> that's quicker than a 3.771 and back it up within 1% to get that national record. >> schumacher was fourth, he moves to number one with a 3.85 at 315 miles an hour. dixon jumps up one spot into fifth. >> how about that mike green, what a job off the u.s. nationals win and laying down this number. i tell you, took it right down the middle of the racetrack and into the number one spot. >> good runs by both cars but larry dixon with the 3.87 gets him only to number five, moved him up one and then schumacher, great pass for the number one position. >> tony schumacher, defending champion here. let's go to the stat guy. >> looks like tony schumacher will qualify, his 150th race in a row. overall record in top fuel for equal fiek streaks is held by joe amato at 191 races but took him 12 years to do that and didn't race as much back in the day. >> our final pair in top fuel will be antron brown and there is doug herbert. remember, 2002 at reading? this was the moment he got his nickname. >> neither driver wanted to move in first, starter rick says, shut them off. you guys just back off. next thing you know, fisti cuffs and john force nowhere to be found amazingly. they took offense and got into a scuffle. great to see doug herbert. he made a fantastic pass in the first round session with the 3.85. currently puts him in the number two spot. >> only second race of the season. looking good. both get down with nice passes. 3.847, that's for brown, he goes number one. herbert stays third. but bernstein had a quicker time this session, so he picks up the single bonus point. brown, though, he's really rolling them up. >> antron picked up two in the first session, by my calculations, antron picked up two points in five sessions. >> that is some good figuring, mike. >> take a look at antron, left-hand lane. 277 miles per hour at the eighth mile and runs that big speed on the top end. 370, almost 318 miles per hour, that's 1,000 foot mark, that thing charges all of the way down the racetrack. >> remembering that for the first time, bonus points are available in qualifying and there in top fuel is the aggregate of the first two sessions with antron brown getting five points. herbert, schumacher, three and brandon bernstein, one. so we'll look at the standings after two sessions. and at the top of the order is antron brown followed by schumacher and herbert. remember, every time herbert does well, he's taking points away from contenders in the playoffs. >> the carry over, you see the list, cory mcclenathan with his elapsed time zblf these not in the field including clay millican who is in the fight. as is lang done. >> coming up, a special moment that occurred earlier this week on "sportscenter" they did a long interview with john force and believe me, there are quite a few good moments in this one. you don't want to miss it at all. >> we want to move on, nobody will let me. tony would want to. i feel like judge and jury but at the end of the day, we race. >> blast from the past moment in this year. oh! big engine explosion there for him. >> boom! lifted the car right off the ground. >> whoa. big explosion on ashley's car. >> completely off the ground. big-time explosion. big concussion right there. >> whoa! bob bode. >> huge explosion that launched that body into the air. pieces were flying everywhere. wow. >> well now we start the countdown to the championship in the nhra full throttle drag racing series. we're at z mack dragway in charlotte, fans lined up for qualifying, the fourth and final session. paul page, mike dunn, gary gerould, dave rieff john, following the stories in race 19 of 24 as we move quickly to the end of the season and the determination of the champions. let's start with pro stock motorcycle highlights. >> for the quickest run, hector arana, hot 6.96 elapsed time, almost 190 miles per hour. >> that meant in session two you had two hot motorcycles, andrew hines and hector arana. andrew into the sixes only other motorcycle this weekend to do so but not as fast as hector. a 6.967. he is the top speed again. >> then in the final session you're not going to see hector or andrew hines. it's andy mcbride and shawn gann, who will be the quickest of this session? if you said gann, would you be right. in the heat, seven flat at 188 miles an hour, good enough for low e.t. of session number three. >> remember the points, that go along with being the quickest in each session of qualifying. their bonus points and they make a world of difference. so as we look at the final session with hector arana, then gann and hines and mcbride not in the playoffs but staking out a position and michael phillips. >> look at the bottom eight. 16 motorcycles. you have johnson, treble, nine and ten, doug horn at 16, curre currently. >> pro stock motorcycle, the fourth, the final session begins. doug horn on the far side over there and jim underdahl. boy, doug horne has just been so good this year. number one qualifier this year at chicago and one of those in the fight for the award, rookie of the year. pro stock motorcycle points, remembering that everything got reset after the running of the u.s. nationals to start this countdown to the championship with eddie krawiec on top, followed by andrew and hector, matt smith, doug horne, craig treble and mike phillips. mike's having a good year. >> remember what happened in indianapolis, suspended for failing to comply to nhra's drug testing policy, was allowed to keep that position in points and could have file an appeal. i spoke with the senior vice president of racing operations for the nhra, and as of five minutes ago that appeal has not yet been sent in. a no-show this weekend. >> eddie krawiec and craig treble. krawiec is seventh, treble is ten lth right now. red light doesn't matter. qualifying, only matters in competition. so, 7.024 for krawiec, will him up two positions, he's now fifth and craig treble stays in tenth. and the points after the reset, look how many points some of these guys lost. eddie krawiec for example, 156 points lost because they vet back to closer numbers. >> wow. 20-points, the old point system, a race and a half before anyone would have caught him, that's assuming they would have had perfect, number two guy would have a perfect round. that is huge. >> of course, that's the whole intent. make the race tighter and tighter going to determination of championship. and they've now added in this whole idea of bonus points for qualifying which should make it a little more interesting as well. steve johnson closest to us, he's not in the playoffs. and karen stouffer, starts her playoff journey in tenth. had a lot of trouble on the tree, karen is seventh. steve is ninth. karen stofer and johnson, neither of their times will do anything to change their position. karen remains seventh and steve johnson remains in ninth place as we go through pro stock motorcycle qualifying here in charlotte. just north of the downtown. i got to tell you, this city is growing up and growing up, the queen city, charlotte, north carolina. look at all that money. banks, yeah. like it.
