“Fortunately for us, we were able to stay green and here we are in the winner’s circle. But we have some more power to make to fight with them. I came in here with confidence.

Before this final round, Gadson held a 2-0 advantage over Arana Jr. However, this was the first time that these two drivers had faced off in the final round.
