L.E. Tonglet won here in 2010.

This is the first time these two have met in the first round since Indy, 2016.

Tonglet is 14 - 12 against Smith in prior events.

Smith gets the holeshot but Tonglet goes around him by the time they reach the sixty foot mark. Tonglet stays in front past the 1000 foot mark, then Smith powers by and takes the stripe for the win.

Matt Smith's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.001), 330 ft(-0.004), 660ft(-0.009), 1,000ft(-0.005). MOV: 0.0073 seconds (approximately 2 feet).
