"Those first couple of laps, I didn't know if I was going to make it through there.  It was kind of crazy, but I made it."  Minich stated.  "It was fun to race with Lou (Stremme), I have not had too many chances to race with him.  I have raced with Tony (Dager) quite a bit of course, and they are fun to race with.  It was a fun race."

The first lap incident occurred when cars went into the first turn three wide, it held through the first and second turns, but did not going into three with several cars spinning, going over the edge in the backstretch, and bouncing off one another. Front row starters Adam Hudson and Keith Sterkowitz both went to the pits for repairs, as did several other cars.

With the restart Asztalos was on inside front row and he took off to a commanding lead as the drivers settled into long green flag run of 39 laps. During that run the cars of Minich, Dager, Stremme, and Hutson made their way through the field and were catching the leader when a caution on the 44^th lap bunched up the field.

With his sizable lead gone, and the fast cars working both the high and low side trying to get past Asztalos saw Minich move into first a few laps later. The others slipped by also and now raced for each position, with several changes in their positions happening as Dager looked high and low for a way around Minich.

"I tried everyway to get around, but it just did not happen." An exhausted Dager said. "I lost my power steering on the 30^th lap, and my arms feel like they are going to fall off now."

Minich took the Howe Racing Award as well as the Pro Shocks Award. Charlie Hanna moved from the 21^st starting spot to finish 13^th after moving up to as high as 6^th, but falling back when he had a flat on the last few laps, his advancing earned him the Racing Electronics Hard Charger Award. Asztalos received the Turn One High Performance Steering System Award for leading the most laps.
