Jeff Arend drove his Checker, Schuck s, Kragen Monte Carlo to a solid 4.915 in the afternoon sunshine here in Las Vegas, which was good enough for the No. 4 spot after one session, but then failed to complete the quarter-mile under power in the nightcap, ending up 15th on the chart. Notables including Tony Pedregon, Jim Head, Gary Densham, and Jerry Toliver are all below the cut-line going into Saturday s final two sessions.
