The front row was Don Nunnikhoven and Nathan Wood who raced side-by-side for the first seven laps before Kikrland who started tenth made it a three car battle. The caution would fly on lap eleven for a car setting in turn three and four under the caution Wood’s machine was showing sparks off the left front and the tech inspector checked the car and found it was a bent a-frame and was able to continue. On the restart with three laps remaining you had to know it was going to get exciting and the final three laps was three and four wide with Wood leading but Kirkland, Nunnikhoven and Dustin Griffiths all wanted the lead with Griffiths making the pass off of turn two and held off the challenges off of turn for taking the win. Kirkland crossed the line in second with Nunnikhoven in third and Wood in fourth.
