Kyle Bronson drew two separate stoppages and slowed on the final lap to finish seventh after fighting possible electrical issues. ... Daniel Hilsabeck was set to continue competing after slowing with possible suspension issues on his second qualifying lap. ... Tyler Johnson scratched after hot laps. ... The backstretch crossover gate required some repairs after hot laps, slightly delaying time trials. ... The Lucas Oil-sanctioned Fourth of July weekend is scheduled to conclude with Saturday's $25,000-to-win Freedom 50 at nearby Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville, Ohio. ... Watch on FloRacing.
