James Goodman of Carmel led lap 1, with Sweatt taking the lead from him on lap 2. Sweatt held the lead with Ashline running right behind or beside him until Ashline used the inside groove to take the lead on lap 9 of the caution-free 25 lap feature and lead the field to the checkers. Behind him, Sweatt had a race long fight with Zach Audet of Norridgewock, holding off Audet to the checkers and finishing 2nd.
