The boys lined back up and it was off to racing again. On the restart the 5e managed to pass the 83 and was coming hard and fast for the number one position. Ward and Leslie Essary were racing on every inch of the track for the top spot, while the 00 of Fulp and the 83 of Comer were neck to neck for the third position. On lap fourteen the 56 and the 98 tangled in turn two bringing out another caution.

Leslie Essary would lead the pack to the start. The 00 of Jim Fulp and 29 of Chris Powell began moving quickly through the field on the high side of the track. By lap seventeen both entered the top five and were advancing for the top spots. Lap eighteen brought out a caution for the 31 of Ron Johnson. The 5e, 00, 60, 83, and 29 made up the top five on the restart. One lap passed before the sixth caution, everyone was going for the position in front of them.

The yellow light was turned off and it was back to the battle. Two laps later the 83 of Comer brought out the final caution of the night. Three laps to go before the checkered would fly.
