S Kinser started outside the "Dude" Danny Lasoski and squeezed him down on green to grab the lead. Jeff Sheppard brought out bthe first yellow when he stopped after breaking the rear gears on lap 2. On the restart S Kinser held the low groove all around, while Lasoski was going low in 1-2 and high in 3-4, with Chad Kemanah nipping at his heels on the low side. Just as the top three got into traffic, Dean Jacobs spun to bring out another caution. S. Kinser got a good jump on the restart, while Craig Dollansky, Paul McMahon and Brooke Tatnell battled thre wide for eighth. Just before halfway, PJ Chesson spun in turn four as the leaders were going in to three, all were able to avoid Chesson's stalled car. S. Kinser again checked out on green, with Kemanah, Lasoski, Daryn Pittman and Shane Stewart the top five at the mid point. Kemanah tried to hang on to S. Kinser, but fell back to 10 car lengths with 10 to go. With the field spead out S. Kinser was able to pick off laps cars at will, using the high and low grooves to slice through the the final laps. At the checkers it was S.
