May 27, 2003

The restart caused another caution on Turn 1 leaving the two pole sitters, Dennis Krause and Nick Woods scrambling to get there cars back into the race. Jay Schraufnagel of Beaver Dam took the lead in lap 3 and remained there for the rest of the race taking the win for the second week in a row. Dan Miller and Tim Lemirande battled it out for the second and third spots as late pressure from the back of the pack caused another caution on Lap 12. After the restart, Tim Lemirande spun as the final laps went green, White, Checkered with Dan Miller in second, Jason Zdroik in third, Jim Zdroik in fourth and Mike Hansel in fifth.
In the Grand National Division, Terri Van Roy took the lead as Dan Nelson went high on the outside during lap 6.
