actually leading 2 laps by a small margin, but was unable to hold on, as
Behlke pulled back ahead, showing the way to the checkers. Over the last
10 laps Andy Wendt and John Ovadal closed up to make it a 4 way battle for the
top spot. At the finish a small blanket could have covered the top 4
with Behlke, by inches over Chesmore, followed by Wendt, Ovadal and Kyle
Jarlsberg.

8 laps before surrendering the top spot to Brandon Riedner. English

the field flew past. English lined up 2nd for the restart, behind
Riedner. At the green flat English launched his bid for the top
spot. Riedner held English off, for 3 laps, before succumbing to the
challenge from English. At the stripe it was English for the win
