Race Review
Leonid Roderick qualifyed on the pole. He lead on the start, but Kevin Colley passed on the inside going into Turn 2. Because of the incident in practice, officials waved the rule stating that all drivers in backup cars had to go to the rear of the field. Damien Snyder, who was bumped into the field after Alexis Rainsford was banned from competing in the race was running up front. James Parks ran very well, surprising many people. On Lap 9 the first caution flew as Jerry Luther turned down into Steve Marshall collecting Rachel Rainsford. Kevin Colley pulled out a major lead with Tony Durbin and Palmer Stiles in hot pursuit. Colley was too far out to be caught until a Lap 32 Debris Caution reeled him in. Durbin passed Colley on the restart and never looked back. Stiles closed the gap very fast, but Durbin held him off and took the win.
