10-lap heats took the winner and the top four qualifiers to the redraw for starting spots in the first four rows. A drying track was farmed on the low side for the heats.

The 30-lapper saw Henderson led early over Price-Miller, Goodno, Kaeding and Tatnell. Kaeding shot around Goodno for third on lap two. Henderson entered lapped traffic on lap five. Kaeding surged by Price-Miller for second on the same lap. Rosenboom, who had smacked the wall, slowed to a stop to bring a caution on lap seven. Henderson led Kaeding, Price-Miller, Tatnell and Scelzi back to green. Price-Miller used the low side to get back to second. Scelzi took over fourth. The leaders were back in traffic by lap 12. Smith slowed on lap 19 after tagging the turn two wall. Price-Miller dogged Henderson for two laps before passing him on the low side of three and four for the lead. He entered lapped traffic on lap 24 before Schriever and Hastings contacted, but kept it going. The yellow was thrown. Price-Miller pulled away for his first ever win at Huset’s worth $7,500 for track Hall of Famer Guy Forbrook. Tatnell snagged fourth from Scelzi late. Juhl, who was the hard-charger, held fifth briefly, but settled for sixth.
