Glick and Butler battled for the top spot right away and Butler edged out Glick for the lead in turn two. Race cars in the fourth through eighth posistions all battled side by side for three laps until a yellow was thrown. No. 44 Ron Chunn collided with McGrady in turn two collecting Cook and Scott. McGrady suffered no damages however, nose and fender damage for Chunn, minimal hood damage to Scott and Cook got the worse of it suffering nose and fender damages as his nose was hanging by just the chassis struts.

Battling for second, Chunn collided with Glick on lap three in turn two sending a loose Glick falling back to sixth. On lap four Chunn and Scribner rubbed fenders in turn four and Scribner powered to second. A three wide pass was made by Scott, Milburn and Chunn in turn two on lap six and all drivers made it out safe. By lap eight, Scribner began catching the leader to set his car up to make the pass for the lead. On lap ten, an eager Scott and Milburn traded paint as the two raced side by side in turn two. On lap 16, a loose Butler slid up the track allowing Scribner to make the pass for the lead.

On lap 26, Chunn performed a bump and run on Butler for fourth making Bulter loose. Next Lap Bulter returns the favor to Chunn.

Milburn in second running with the leader pulled off the track due to electrical problems ending his night. By lap 72, Chunn ran down Scribner for second and the two raced aggressively side by side for second on the last lap.

On lap five, Linstroth went to the inside of Mamula for the lead as the two raced side by side for three laps and Mamula still leading. On lap 11, Glen and Thompson battled for third side by side and the two rubbed tires which sent Thompson spinning in turn two. Mamula and Linstroth restarted the field, before the lap was complete, Lindgren, No. 3 Don Swartz and Grigsby all collided in turn two.

Linstroth and Mamula restarted the field again and this time Linstroth powered to an early lead. By lap 14, Winters was on Linstroth’s rear studying the leader’s every move on track.
