Janis led the first half of this race, but they were dead-even at half track and Coughlin's turbo car had too much on the top end for Janis to keep pace.

Troy Coughlin's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.008), 330 ft(-0.041), 660ft(0.000), 1,000ft(0.033). MOV: 0.0534 seconds (approximately 19 feet).

Coughlin will have lane choice against Knowles in round 2.
