Coughlin is 25 - 19 against Johnson in prior events. Coughlin with the starting line advantage and was really loose and finally had to push in the clutch. Johnson was straight down the groove with a great pass to take the win. Johnson will have lane choice over Enders-Stevens in the final. This is a rematch of yesterday's K&N Horsepower Challenge and Johnson won that one. He has a chance to double up.
