His final pass in qualifying was better than the Nation Record and will take a 3.935 to back up. Worsham has a 60% win record in first round pairings, but Pedregon has a 17/16 win advantage. He has won over 56% of his first round. races. Pedregon is 39 - 26 against Worsham in prior events. Beckman's pass gives even more pressure on Worsham to win. Not a record breaking pass, but certainly strong enough to ensure a win. He has a big head start at the green and is well ahead before the 330 lights. Pedregon's engine goes South about then and begins to use itself up. Worsham's win eliminates Tommy Johnson Jr. chance to win the Championship.
