Castellana wastes his best run of the event with a red-light. Smith was late, but he moves on to face Radford, Smith with lane choice.

 1313 Chip King                            6695 Rick Distefano
E1                   0.121  6.362 224.25     ****WINNER****  0.070  6.338 205.82

Canada vs. USA in this one, as Distefano, the invader from the north, tries to pull off the upset.

And he does it. King was late, and Distefano outran him at every incremental. Distefano was very loose at the finish line and loses lane choice to Patterson.
