In his last 6 starts Blake Alexander is 1 - 5 in Rd. 1.

Todd is 9 - 2 against Alexander in prior events.

Todd gets out of the gate first and extends his lead all the way through the run. Alexander was hanging with him for the first half of the run but gets about 700 feet out, puffs the tires and gives up on the run. Todd goes on through with the second quickest pass of the session to take the win.

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