Beckman is a little behind off the line but goes in front by the time they reach the sixty foot mark. He gets about 500 feet out, loses a cylinder on the left side and starts getting pushed toward the centerline. He gets about 600 feet out and has to back off the throttle. Beckman is able to get around him at that point and pull away for the win.

J.R. Todd's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.009), 330 ft(-0.030), 660ft(-0.016). MOV: 0.0786 seconds (approximately 30 feet).

Johnson will have lane choice over Todd in the next round.
