In a rare occurrence, John Weaver didn’t set the fast lap of the night as Ray Lee put up a 4.164 to better Weaver’s 4.172 best lap. Though Ray was slightly faster, Weaver still took the win by a 3 lap margin. Ray and Woody Hazelwood were in a close race for to see who would finish where on the podium with Ray taking 2nd by a two-lap margin. The next finisher, Richard Payne, was 14 laps off their pace. Richard and Rob Hayes were in somewhat of a duel with Rob finishing just two laps behind Richard to claim 5th.
