This is Dixon's 14th U.S. Nationals, Buff's first as a pro. Dixon has won this race three times, been runner-up twice and he qualified #1 with a 1,000-foot career-best ET. Dixon is 4-0 against Buff in prior races, 3-0 in the first round.

Buff was right with Dixon most of the run, but there was a pretty big difference off the line. Buff's numbers were better till the 660-foot mark, but Dixon had a better top end charge. Dixon will not have lane choice in round two, and from what we've seen so far, he'll be over in the right lane against Antron Brown. 11:22 a.m.
