This one took a while to get started. Bybee had to change engines between rounds and was not in the staging lanes. McCornack waited about 10 minutes in order for Bybee to complete the engine swap. McCornack got a small holeshot but they were dead even at the sixty foot mark. Bybee started pulling ahead at that point and never looked back. Margin of victory = 0.022 seconds (approximately 8 feet).
