The 40-lapper saw Bayston leading Co Macedo, Ca Macedo and Kofoid early. One lap in, Norris hooked the turn one berm and flipped. He was ok. Schuchart, who was in the top ten went to the work area to fix a flat. Co Macedo passed his brother for second on the restart, and then shot around Bayston to lead lap three. He was in lapped traffic by the ninth circuit. Haudenschild entered the top five on lap 12. Bayston battled back in heavy traffic on lap 14, and retook the lead. Haudenschild and Armitage moved into fourth and fifth, getting by Kofoid on lap 15. Bayston hit the turn three wall and slowed on lap 18, allowing Ca Macedo to retake the lead. Shortly after, Haudenschild and Kofoid slid each other lap after lap in a battle for fourth. A caution for Daum came out on lap 33. Armitage also had his seventh place run end with a trip to the work area. Balog spun on the restart, and on the second try, Williamson and Nienhiser got together. Moran was running ninth at the time and had to fix a flat. At this point, officials called for an open red. Ca Macedo led Bayston, Co Macedo, Kofoid and Haudenschild back to green. Haudenschild shot into fourth on the restart. Gravel entered the top five with four to go, as rubber was laid. Ca Macedo went on to the win worth $12,000. Axsom was the hard-charger.
