Last pair of round one and Bernstein is 11 - 6 against Grubnic in prior events. Lots of smoke in both lanes and Bernstein goes further before having to pump the throttle. Grubnic's DHL dragster kicked the tires just before the 330-ft. lights. He recovers well, but doesn't have the momentum to catch the Budweiser car.

11:29 a.m. After several upsets, we have some surprising lane choices going into round two: Schumacher over Fuller; Erbacher over Bernstein; Dixon over Herbert; and Buff over McClenathan.
