Jarrod Schneiderman (15)
McCarl and Dollansky were side by side in one and two to start the 30-lapper. When Dollansky went low in three and four, McCarl shot around him on the cushion and the race for the lead was essentially over at that point. Moughan was in the top ten when he brought the first caution of the race with a spin on lap four. The restart saw McCarl leading Dollansky, Johnson, Schneiderman and Nienhiser. Schneiderman took over third on the restart. Nienhiser continued his charge from tenth and passed Schneiderman on lap eight before Maeschen tagged an infield tire and retired on lap eleven. Hull went from fourth by Nienhiser for third on that restart, but the race was slowed again by a Neitzel spin on lap 14. Nienhiser pulled the move of the race on the restart, shooting by both Hull and Dollansky into second. The last 16 laps went non-stop, with McCarl never seriously challenged for the $3,000 prize. Nienhiser ran a solid second, ahead of Dollansky. Swindell and Madsen waged a battle through the field to round out the top five.
