Alexander was only able to made one full pass in session one. The other two attempts were tire smokers. This will be Blake's 80th round on racing with a 44% win record. Tasca III is 4 - 2 against Alexander in prior events.

Alexander gets a narrow 0.008 advantage off the line and stay in front to just before the 60 foot light, where the tires shake loose. He tries to pump it it, but can't recover.

Tasca has his own issues with shake near the 330 lights. He does a quick pedal slap and powers on down to the take the win. He gives up lane choice next round to Johnson.
