Tony Schumacher has 19 starts in Top Fuel at Indy, with 9 wins. That is the most by any driver in the fuel classes. Shawn Langdon won here in 2013. He also won here in Super Gas in 2010. Schumacher is 13-9 against Langdon in prior events, but Langdon is 2-1 against Schumacher in round one matchups. Langdon's future schedule after today is still very uncertain.

It was almost dead-even at the start, but Langdon led this one all the way, really opening the gap when Schumacher started smoking the tires before the 600-foot mark. Langdon will race Kalitta in round two, Kalitta has lane choice.
