White led the 30-lapper early over Hafertepe and Bade.  Hahn was into fourth by lap two.  Hahn passed Bade for third on lap five, and the leaders entered lapped traffic on lap six.  Hafertepe cut across Whtie to the lead, but it was negated when Topper spun into the infield, bringing the caution.  Anderson suffered a flat left rear.  White led Hafertepe, Hahn, Bade and Williamson back to green.  Hafertepe shot into the lead on the restart.  On lap eight, White was back in front, and Hahn crossed second, but Hafertepe surged back from third to lead lap nine as things got exciting.  Williamson got by Bade for fourth as well.  Hafertepe entered lapped traffic on the thirteenth lap, and Williamson drove under White to third on lap 14.  A slowing Ferriera brought the yellow flag at the halfway point.  Two laps after the restart, Bade flipped in turn one.  She was uninjured.  Under caution, after the red, Williamson exited with a flat left rear while running third.  Hafertepe led Hahn, White, Gennetten and Covington back to green.  He was into lapped traffic again with eight to go.  He rode the cushion to beat Hahn to the line for $3,000.  Gennetten put up a good battle with White, passing her for third with two to go.  B winner Crockett was the hard-charger.
