Based on prior rounds, Jeg had the performance edge in this matchup. As you'd expect, neither driver was anxious to stage first, but Jeg broke the deadlock and then got the better light and ran away from AJ. Johnson was never far behind, but Coughlin did not make any mistakes. Jeg Coughlin's incremental margins: 60ft(0.024), 330 ft(0.035), 660ft(0.039), 1,000ft(0.037). MOV: 0.0323 seconds (approximately 10 feet).

Based on prior performance, this one was pretty even, Anderson with a slight edge, but it figured to be a reaction time race. KJ was away first by fifteen thousandths of a second and then held on to that edge for the win in another close drag race. Kurt Johnson's incremental margins: 60ft(0.020), 330 ft(0.019), 660ft(0.016), 1,000ft(0.016). MOV: 0.0168 seconds (approximately 5 feet).
