This is the first time Adams has gone to the semifinals. He and Geoffrion have raced each other five time in their careers, Geoffrion with a 4-1 edge in those races. He chose the left lane and made it two left-lane winners in the semifinals. Anderson will have lane choice in the finals and he stated his preference for the right lane after qualifying, so it will be interesting to see how that turns out. Scott Geoffrion's MOV: 0.0288 seconds (approximately 8 feet).
