Julie Nataas is making her 7th start.

This is the first time Todd and Nataas have faced each other in eliminations.

Todd gets the holeshot, nataas stars making up ground, then she loses traction about 500 feet out and the car goes silent. Todd goes down the groove with a clean pass to take the win.

J.R. Todd's incremental margins: 60ft(0.059), 330 ft(0.047), 660ft(0.098). MOV: 0.3624 seconds (more than 100 feet).

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