altitude 1,760 feet, track temperature 65 degrees.Schumacher is 32 - 14 against Bernstein in prior events and 8 - 2 against Bernstein in prior final rounds. Schumacher is 2-6 in final rounds this year, 64-49 over his career. Bernstein is 0-2 in finals this year, 18-20 overall. His last win came at Richmond in 2009, 59 races ago. Bernstein has lane choice. The championship scenario is simple: if Schumacher wins, he is the 2012 champion. If Bernstein wins, Antron Brown is the champion. On a holeshot, Bernstein wins and Brown is the champion. He led all the way, but Schumacher was just a thousandth back at 330 feet. Brandon Bernstein's incremental margins: 60ft(0.011), 330 ft(0.001), 660ft(0.010). MOV: 0.0081 seconds (approximately 4 feet).
What a way to bring the 2012 season to a close (well, almost, there are five Sportsman finals yet to run).
