Matt Smith is the defending event champion and he won here last year after qualifying #1. He is just 9 -6 in round 1 at this race. The top qualifier in PSM is 30 -2 in round 1 at this event. He needs to win the race to have a chance at the Championship. This will be Sullivan's 25th first round appearance and she has a 30% win record. Smith is 2 - 0 against Sullivan in prior events.

Sullivan gets a huge advantage off the line, but Smith powers on by just before the 330 lights to make the quickest pass of the session and take a decisive win. Looked like lot of smoke from the engine in the lights.

He will have lane choice over Oehler.
