The joker lane was optional and you could use it one time per qualifier per class and twice for each main per class; it was an easier and faster section which saved about 5 to 7 seconds off a lap.

Both of them used their joker on lap 1 but for lap 2 Noah took the normal line while Jake took the joker again, giving him an instant 5 to 6 second lead, which he turned into a 10 to 12 second lead before Dickerson ran into mechanical issues.
