Jason Rupert's 3.953 was his best qualifying run ever.

Tasca is 2 - 0 against Rupert in prior events.

Rupert did all he could do on this run. He gets the advantage off of the line, then goes down with a career best pass but came up a little short. Rupert was in front for about 600 feet, then Tasca was able to power by and pull away for the win.

Bob Tasca's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.016), 330 ft(-0.010), 660ft(0.004). MOV: 0.0245 seconds (approximately 12 feet).

Alexander will have lane choice over Tasca in the next round.
