The feature started out with Sheppard and Friedman on the front row, and Friedman taking the initial lead. Jason Feger caught Friedman and through the middle part of the race the two raced side by side, swapping the lead several times. With only one early and one late caution, the sleeper in the race was almost Derek Chandler. Chandler had seen the fun the leaders were having and decided to join them, swapping second and third place with first one, then the other. That made some very exciting racing action for the fans.
