Payne is 1 - 0 against Personett in prior events. They both pre-stage and neither wants to stage...Stewart backs them both off and then Personett goes in first and Payne gets the starting line advantage, but Personett chases him down around 1000 feet when Payne slows. Personett will have lane choice in the final.
