Force is 12-2 in first round match-ups with Bazemore and is 40-9 overall.

This was an interesting one here. Force leaves first and starts pulling away. Bazemore strikes the tires about 250 feet out, makes a hard move to the right, and crosses the center-line. Force loses a cylinder after half-track, the car starts drifting to the left, then touches, but does not cross the center-line just before he goes through the lights. Force will give up lane choice to Tony Pedregon in round two.
