Midpack, the race was between Ginsberg and Donovan, even though they are in separate classes. David's AI car had the power and suspension advantage over Ginsberg's CMC car, but Ginsberg refused to give in. Adam managed to hold onto his position, until David made a bold power move going into T4, putting Ginsberg in his dust. Not to be daunted, Ginsberg stayed tight for 2 hard laps, pressured Donovan, causing him to go wide and spin in T2, taking the postion back! Donovan, now red-faced due to his mistake, charged hard, running his fastest time of the day with a 1:30.900, caught Ginsberg, made a move coming out of T9, and retook his lead. With 2 laps to go, the #5 CSD Custom Auto/Kwik Kar Mustang of Ginsberg stayed close. A minor mistake by Donovan coming out of T6 allowed Ginsberg to regained his position, edging out Donovan at the checkered flag.
Meanwhile, Armstrong was making headway, and catching up to the rest of the field. Manor and George continued their domination of the front of the pack, but Bell and Pedersen were doing a fair share of battling. Pedersen was all over the back bumper of Bell, trying to force a mistake by the #16 driver, but to no avail - Mike held on tight, and crossed the finish line ahead of the Three Dog Racing blue and yellow hatch of Richard. The overall finishing order was Manor, George, Bell, Pedersen, Cisar, Ginsberg, Donovan and Armstrong.
