Like teammate Daniels, Drane
largely controlled the race
despite the results showing a
margin of just two-hundredths
of a second separating him
from Saathoff at the flag.
Following a cool-down lap
that saw angry gestures shared
between Drane and Saathoff,
Drane chose his words carefully,
even though the adrenaline was
still clearly pumping.
He said, "I just wanted to get
out there straight to the front
and do everything I could to
win that one, because that was
dangerous coming off the last
corner doing that. It is what it
is, and I guess I just have to put
my head down and do what I did
and come out on top."
"I thought I set myself up
good [on the final lap]," Saathoff
said. "But it seems to me that
Tom Drane doesn't know how to
go in a straight line sometimes.
But that's okay: we're going to
look past it and move on to the
next one."
Turner Racing Honda's Trevor
Brunner finished third. Mean

Now riding a three-race win
streak, Drane has taken hold of
the AFT Singles title race. He is
20 points up on Saathoff (153-
133) while Brunner is third at
114.
