The "Battle of the Shanes." This Tucker's first season and the first time he and Gray have faced each other. It is Tucker's 11th round of competition and he is 4-6 in the prior 10 rounds, but 3-3 in round 1. It is Gray's 200th round of competition, with an overall 96-103 record at prior events, 59-47 in round 1.

After an almost dead-even start, Gray slowly edged ahead and stayed there for the win. Shane Gray's incremental margins: 60ft(0.004), 330 ft(0.006), 660ft(0.009), 1,000ft(0.012). MOV: 0.0124 seconds (approximately 4 feet).

The TV replay showed a shower of sparks under Gray's car when he lifted at the stripe - looked like a dragging header.

Gray lost lane choice to Allen Johnson in round 2 by a thousandth.
