Weather conditions: air temperature 81 degrees, relative humidity 59 percent, barometer 29.40 inches, adjusted altitude 2,389 feet, track temperature 102 degrees.

This is an important one, Beckman is second and Pedregon is fifth in the points. Pedregon gets a big hole-shot, then strange looking flames start coming from the left side header. Beckman starts to make up ground, then starts to haze the tires. Pedregon stays on the throttle and hangs on to take the win.

Pedregon will give up lane choice to Johnson in round two.
