Veteran Jamie Aube took sixth, while Phil Scott and John Donahue raced from deep in the field to take seventh and eighth respectively. Jamie Fisher and Derek Ming completed the top ten.

He took the lead in a daring three wide pass of first and second place runners Blair Bessett and rookie Kyle Pembroke coming off turn two.
