The Command Center has just received word that Team 6, Americans Al Nels and Andy Baird, have made a safe nighttime landing near Superior, Nebraska, just north of the Kansas-Nebraska border. Their chase crew is close by and all is well.

The other eight teams are continuing northeastward, with several about to cross into South Dakota and Iowa. Most are still achieving speeds in excess of 40 MPH (64 KPH). If they maintain these speeds, the leaders should be nearing the Canadian border by tomorrow morning.
