Hagan sprinted past John Bojec, Robert Hight and Tommy Johnson Jr. en route to making his fifth final round appearance of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredible,\u201d said Hagan. \u201cThis is something for the last nine years that I\u2019ve been driving for Don Schumacher Racing we have been trying to accomplish and it\u2019s not an easy task. I have the parts and pieces and people around me, especially (crew chief) Dickie Venables. I\u2019m just proud to be a part of it. The fans got what they paid for today.

I botched a lot of runs along the way. We shouldn\u2019t even be in seventh. Between tire shaking and making bad calls and flat getting our butt kicked, we should be a lot higher. It\u2019s not impossible at this point. Just got to keep winning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, making his third final round appearance of the season, raced past Brainerd winner Drew Skillman, seven-time 2016 event winner Greg Anderson and Shane Gray in the earlier rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Gray, McGaha, back-to-back world champ Erica Enders and five-time world champ Jeg Coughlin penciled their names into the final four Countdown to the Championship spots in Pro Stock.<\/p>\n<p>Hines took over the Pro Stock Motorcycle points lead by riding his Vance &amp; Hines Harley-Davidson to a 6.682 at 194.63 in the final round to beat Hector Arana Jr., who redlighted on his Lucas Oil Buell.

I knew I had a bike that could go rounds and we just had to pick on it here and there. We\u2019re getting closer to something that will work for us in the heat. We got to the final round and figured out the tune-up that needed to be in there. I\u2019m happy I made my best run of the weekend in the final round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arana Jr. made his first final round appearance of the season by riding past Michael Ray, Chip Ellis and rookie Cory Reed in the first three rounds.
