Blake Alexander is 1-7 in Round 1 this year.

This is the first time Alexander and Vandergriff have faced each other in eliminations.

Another good drag race, both with weekend best runs. Vandergriff gets the holeshot, then starts pulling away after they get past the 330 foot mark. Alexander runs his quickest of the year in the loss and Vandergriff runs a career best speed in the win.

Jordan Vandergriff's incremental times: 60ft-0.887 sec., 330ft-2.258, 660ft-3.153/290.66 mph.

Vandergriff will have lane choice over Prock in the next round.
