The battle for second

| | Comments (0) |

Larry Dixon will wear the No. 2. He beats Cory McClenathan with a nice 4.85.
But Dixon has bigger fish to fry.
"We can still walk out of here with a trophy," Dixon said. "That's what I thought I had to do get second. Cory McClenathan has a strong team over there, but we're strong, too."
Dixon will get to race Rod Fuller, who beat little-known Ers Erbacher in the semifinals. Fuller is also pumped about winning the Wally.
"That's what came here to do," said Fuller, who upset champion Tony Schumacher in the semifinals. "Beating Schumacher is great, but we want to win this race. My dad said there's nothing like winning Pomona at the end of the year, because you are the champ all winter long."
