Dixon is 3 - 2 against Massey in prior events and Dixon is 1 - 0 against Massey in prior final rounds. Massey is out of the gate first and never trails as Massey wins his second National event when Dixon is up in smoke before he gets to the Christmas tree. Dixon pedaled it one time, but couldn't get it to hook up so he will go into Pomona trailing Schumacher by one point. Massey runs his quickest pass of the weekend for the win.
