Well, if Dixon and crew chief Dick LaHaie can't get down the left lane, then it just can't be done. This is
pretty much a must-win situation for Kalitta if he wants to keep his championship hopes alive. This is a rematch of
the final from Denver one week ago, which Dixon won.Okay, either the left lane ain't that bad or Dixon and team are
just that good. That was a spectacular effort for the Miller Lite team, just a hundredth off low e.t. of the event.
And Dixon was absolutely jacked in the shutdown area, pumping his fists and celebrating. A back-breaking win for
Dixon. He'll go for the Western Swing Sweep next weekend at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. 4:35
p.m.
