The pair swapped the lead again navigating turns one and two before Hoar took the lead back for keeps.John Donahue of Graniteville started eighth and finished third. Brent Dragon and Joey Polewarczyk completed the top five. Mark Lamberton of Mooers Forks was sixth. The race had six cautions including a tire check for abnormal tire wear for the whole field on lap 35.
