Matt Hagan is the defending event champion. He also won here in 2010. In 30 years at this track only one FC driver (J. Force) has ever won it in back-to-back years. Matt starts the day with 299 round wins. Only 9 drivers in the history of the FC class have ever won 300 or more rounds.

Hagan and Lindberg have each won 1 times against the other in prior events.

Hagan hits the throttle, goes up in smoke and has to back off the throttle. Lindberg starts pulling away but has traction problems about 300 feet out. Hagan gets back on the throttle, Lindberg pedals and is able to stay out in front and take the win. Lindberg goes through the lights, gets really close to the wall in the shutdown area and has to steer it back to the left.
