A miracle lap by Indy Car driver Jogu Abushi puts him atop the heap on the start, leading the first two laps. His teammate Tim McDonnell flew by on the frontrstetch, staying up front for several circuits before Dan Johnston took the heap.
The #121 and Rick Jackson swapped the lead, with Dan seemingly having the fastest car in the field next to the #44 and #22. Ken Joynt would train the Allstate mobile to the front with William Perry in tow. Bonzanza Series regular Joe Mersdorf is running extremely well from behind.
Obliteration occured on lap 36. Tim McDonnell's engine exploded after crossing the start-finish line, getting tagged by Ken Joynt and taking both cars out. McDonnell would miss the field despite being third in points. Joynt will miss the field despite a miraculous run.
Cristian Torres and Rob Scarberry are suddenly directly behind the 15th-place cutoff they were struggling to reach before the caution. Both drivers would finish inside the bubble. Up front, Dan Johnston and Rick Jackson would make their way to the lead. Jackson would win the $500,000 grand prize after the leading the final five laps and cruising home to victory.
