Henderson was slated to start sixth, but broke a bleeder in staging for the event. He started at the tail after pulling it out. Stewart shot out to an early lead and extended it in the 35-lapper until Dollansky caught up to him in traffic on lap six and took the point. Schatz moved by Stewart a few laps later, and then moved by Dollansky around lap 15. Lasoski went up in smoke early on and retired. Cressman followed suit. On lap 24, K. Kinser spun on the backstretch. His left rear looked low on the restart. Schatz led Dollansky, Meyers, Stewart, Haudenschild and a charging Kemenah back to green flag racing. Dollansky shot by the leader to take the point on the restart, and Meyers followed him. A few laps prior, Zomer was running fifth when he broke a right front arm, slowing his progress. On lap 27, he would find the backstretch wall and get upside down hard. He was uninjured. The last restart saw Dollansky ahead of Meyers, Schatz, Stewart, Haudenschild and Kemenah. Dollansky pulled away for the $10,000 win. K. Kinser pulled off with a left rear off the rim. Schatz slid Meyers into the wall to take second. Meyers went back around him, and both were banging for the runner-up spot. In the end, it was Schatz in second. After the checkers, there was plenty of contact between the two on the track.
