Dixon has a six to two advantage over McClenathan in final rounds. This is Dixon's tenth final of the year and Cory Mac's seventh. They have met three times already this year, recently at the 2010 Lucas Oil Nations in Brainerd, MN. This is the fifth time in Indy history that the number one and number two qualifiers have met in the final round, with the #1 qualifier winning three times. Most notable was the Garlits vs. Carbone burn down. What a great race! Dixon had lane choice and made the most of it. He was away first by 0.017 and steadily pulled ahead all the way to the finish line on a great side by side race. McClenathan was right there waiting for any fault by Dixon,but it was not to be. Larry Dixon is the 2010 Top Fuel Champion. Larry Dixon's incremental margins: 60ft(0.017), 330 ft(0.032), 660ft(0.043). MOV: 0.0456 seconds (approximately 21 feet). Larry Dixon's
incremental times: 60ft-0.848 sec., 330ft-2.169, 660ft-3.080/278.23 mph.
