A couple of cautions later Jerry Miles was making a late race charge for the lead as well.Bonney lead through lap ten,Miles had lap eleven in his corner,and as both drivers came out of turn four to the yellow pole where the races are scored Jerry Miles beat Joe Bonney by a nose in a barn burner of a finish.Bonney was second,Kevin Brame third,Terry Rittmer fourth,with Jarret Franzen fifth.
