Palmer with the starting line advantage, but Pritchett had the lead by 200 feet and never trailed from there on for the win. Pritchett appeared to push out a head gasket around half track, but holds on for the win. Leah Pritchett's MOV: 0.0447 seconds (approximately 20 feet). She will give up lane choice to Vandergriff in the next round.
