Capps has a 75% win advantage in round one matchups.

Another wild race. Capps gets off the line first and they are dead even at the 60 foot lights. Capps just gets back out in front at the 330 lights and both cars are smoking the tires. They both pump and pedal with the tires smoking. Near the 660 light's, Hagan's Charger has a big fireball underneath, but he stay with it. Both cars are heading towards the centerline and Capps finally gets to the finishline first.

Beckman will have lane choice in the next round.
