Chase was checking with Valeria setup for his car, trying to have the best pace for qualifying. Time by time he was looking at Skyes garage with slight worry in his face and Valeria noticed this.

Valeria: Are you alright?

Chase: Yeah I am. Just kinda worried about how Skye feels about penalty.

Valeria: Still it's better for us. Easy pole for you!

Chase: But still no intrigue for battle. I'll go check on her. Looks like we're good.

Valeria: Let me see... Yes we are. Matt will help me to install your setup. Go check on Skye, while you have time.

Chase ran to Skyes garage to see how's she doing. In her garage Vlad was checking something on laptop, Greg was talking with guy from pit crew and Skye was sitting on the roof of her car. Then she saw Chase coming to her garage.

Chase: Hey there.

Skye (smiles a little): Hey Chase.

Vlad: Oh hi buddy.

Skye jumped off from car and came to Chase to hug him. They hugged for 10 seconds then they let go.

Chase: So how are you feeling?

Skye: About what?

Chase: About penalty.

Skye: Obviously it sucks. No matter which result I'll show, I'll start last so we decided not to go on track.

Chase: Oh, sorry.

Skye: It was kinda my fault you know.

Chase: Yeah I got it. Don't remind it to me.

Skye: Don't do the same to me either (laughs a little).

Chase (laughs a little): Well, see you after qualifying.

Skye: Yeah. And hey!

Chase: Yeah?

Skye (kisses his cheek): Good luck out there.

Chase (nuzzles her forehead): Thanks baby. Gotta go.

Greg: Mmmm, cute.

Vlad: Told ya they won't have a hardship after receiving a penalty.

Chase returned to his garage and heard engine roaring in his car. Then Matt exited his car.

Matt: Alrighty. We are ready to go!

Chase: Let's roll!

Chase sat in his car and drove from the garage. Other pups saw it and got in their cars, getting ready to go. Everybody knew that this qualifying will be to easy for Chase and when he exited the pit-lane, the rest of pups followed him but with few seconds margin. After first attempt the gap between Chase and Everests 2nd result was too big, so audience were focused on fight for 2nd place.

Matt: Hahahahha! Ohhh that was too easy than I thought!

Chase: To be honest, me too! Maybe we shouldn't go for last attempt?

Valeria (chuckles): Why not? What do you think Matt?

Matt: I'm in. Let's rest and see.

On second attempt Marshall who showed only 7th result on first attempt decided to go right after Zuma, Everest decided to follow Marshall because she knew that her boyfriend will push hard and the rest of the pups decided to push hard behind Everest to put pressure on her. Because of tight battle for speed and draft, Marshall used his chance and beat Everests time to take 2nd place in qualifying. Top-8 at the end of qualifying.

2. Marshall;
