Beckman has a four to one advantage over TJ in round one. Beckman is 5 - 2 against Johnson Jr. in prior events.

Team DSR can't lose on this one! Beckman is away first and has the better numbers down low. He stays in front until after the 660 lights, where the top end power of the Make-A-Wish engine pulls Johnson ahead for the really close win. Welcome back TJ!
