It was obvious that No. 1 qualifier Edwards and No. 2 qualifier Yates had the two quickest cars today. Edwards beat veterans Darrell Alderman, Larry Morgan, and Warren Johnson to reach the money round. Angelle Savoie faced each other in the final round of a national event and, just as it was when they met in Dallas during the 1999 season, Savoie got antsy and jumped the light, giving the race away with a .390 red-light. Brown now has two victories on the season and is a solid second in the points.
Every round has the feeling like it's a final round.
When I lined up with Angelle, I had to go old school and do everything exactly right. She pushed the light a little too much and I got the win. But she sure has nothing to hang her head about. I just had to stay totally focused in the finals and do my job. Now I think Chicago is my favorite track of all.
