Alexis Rainsford, driving a car sponsored by the film Sicko, started on the pole. She became the first ever female pole winner. Early in the race, Dale Roswell challenged for the lead. On lap three, Tony Durbin was turned around by Alan Hodges. No car hit the wall and everyone involved continued. On Lap 11, the second caution flew. Cyrus LaTerza hit the wall, hit Ross Peterson spinning Matt Smith. Ryan Nawrocki hit Paul Lyons, sending him into the grass and into James Lombardi and Julia Nosova. Lombardi was the only driver to retire and Nawrocki was called to the hauler. Roswell lead on the start. James Dalton was very fast on the track. Ryan Nawrocki hit Tony Durbin and Steve Marshall, sending Jon Broughton, who was making his final TM Master Cup Series start before retiring to the TM Late Model Series into the wall and flipping. Durbin also landed upside down. Ryan Hearne and Matt Taylor also got damage. Durbin and Broughton retired from the race. Scott Bates became a contender as did Joel Rodriguez. Dalton then emerged with a massive lead. After a crash that didn't bring out a caution, Stuart Sandoval came in for repairs. After the pit stops, Dalton reaassumed the lead. However, Leonid Roderick came in later then everyone else. Roderick was running a black car instead of his usual orange one. James Dalton ran out of fuel with two laps to go, and Leonid Roderick assumed the lead, crusing on to the win. After the checkered flag, Rachel Rainsford hit Ryan Hearne, who was hit by Lorne Roth.
