Johnson is 1 - 0 against Humphrey in prior events but they have never faced off in the second round before.

They put on a staging duel, but after about a minute Humphrey went in to break the deadlock. Then both cars shook violently and went silent, the cars out of gear, coasting down the track side-by-side. You could hear somebody revving the engine, trying to get it back in gear, but neither car accelerated and, in a soapbox derby finish, it was AJ by over a car length.
