Herb Neumann took the lead from pole-sitter Wayne Anderson on lap 54, after waging a nose-to-tail battle with Anderson for the first half of the event. Several attempts by Neumann to make an inside pass were unsuccessful, forcing him to execute an outside power move on lap 53 to take the lead from series point leader Anderson at the stripe. Neumann pulled away from the field at that point, building a commanding five-second lead while Anderson and Steve Dorer dueled for second and third. Dorer finished second, followed by Anderson, Scott Grossenbacher, and Rob Partelo.
Further back in the pack, series Rookies Randy Anderson and Austin Kirkpatrick fought furiously for Rookie-of-the-Race honors, with Kirkpatrick moving to seventh place on lap 65 to get the honors. Kirkpatrick padded his lead in the Rookie points, while Anderson finished eighth in the event.
