The four pulled away from the field, until the events only caution appeared on lap 9 when Nick Lundgreen stalled on the track.
On the restart Ray moved around Hatton for the lead entering the first turn, later in the lap Coons took second place from Hatton. At the mid way point three car lengths separted Ray, Coons and Kuhn. Using the lower groove Coons pulled even with Ray on the 17th lap entering turn two,and took the lead down the backstretch.
