This is it, the 51st annual MAC Tools U.S. Nationals are almost finished - just two cars left to decide the final championship of the event. These two have raced each other 38 times before, Dixon holding a 22-16 edge in round wins, but Schumacher holds a 5-3 edge in final rounds. This is also big in the points, both drivers still in contention for the POWERAde championship.

It was over almost immediately, Schumacher smoking the tires right off the starting line while Dixon was on a flawless run, right down the groove with no tire smoke.
