Blose held the position until lap fourteen when third place starter Lynn Geisler used an outside turn two pass to get the lead. Geislers time at the front was short lived, as 11th place starter John Britsky also used the outside, and went by Geisler exiting turn two. The pair were door-to-door entering turn three, as Britsky found the extra energy to power into the lead. Once out front, Britsky weaved his way through slower traffic, and then the field down for the checkered flag.

On the restart, Al Zuccolotto was handed the lead. He had to hold off a determined Denny Petyak, and Shawn McGarvey first, then a fast returning Jacoby, who worked his way back to the top five. As the race wound down, a crash sent McGarvey to the pits for the night. Jacoby then moved up to battle Petyak and Zuccolotto. ,Heading for the finish line Petyak made once last effort, and came up short, as he crashed in turn four.
