Here we are at the final Pro Final of the day. Dixon and Schumacher have met three times before this season in a final round. Dixon is up 2-1 going into this run. A win for Dixon would pull him even with Gary Scelzi for 5th on the all time list. Dixon takes an early lead and pulls away for the win. Dixon's win means that all of the clinching POWEade Champs also won their class in today's event. Big win for Dixon and Team Snake and Miller Lite.
