Dixon came into this round with a performance edge in prior rounds, a 9-2 advantage over Russell overall, and a 3-1 edge in final rounds. It was over quickly, Russell up in smoke right off the starting line. Dixon's car started mixing the cylinders up on the top end and trailed smoke through the lights, but by then he was safely home and the apparent engine problems didn't slow him down much at all. This is Dixon's 28th career win in 51 final round appearances and moves him back into the points lead over Brandon Bernstein.
