Force was 57 points behind Hagan starting the race today. Hagan just won round two so Force really needs this one to keep pace.

Force gets a great start and starts pulling away. He gets about 400 feet out and loses traction. troxel has problems of her own, going up in smoke about 300 feet out. They both pedal, gain traction and go on through the lights.

Tasca will have lane choice over Force in round three.
