Beckman is the only driver standing between Prock and the national championship. He would need to win this race and hope Prock didn't show up for the finals to take it away.

Lee gets out of the gate first but Beckman goes around him before they reach the sixty foot mark. Lee starts gaining ground after that, then goes down the groove with a career best run to take the stripe for the holeshot win.

Paul Lee's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.021), 330 ft(-0.012), 660ft(-0.011). MOV: 0.0024 seconds (approximately 14 inches).

Paul Lee's incremental times: 60ft-0.887 sec., 330ft-2.225, 660ft-3.107/290.13 mph.

Jack Beckman's incremental times: 60ft-0.857 sec., 330ft-2.204, 660ft-3.087/289.76 mph.

Lee will have lane choice over Prock in the final round.
