Prentice led the field the following circuit, but on lap 19 Hebing took the lead back. Prentice regained the lead on lap 20. While the lead was changing hands, Johnson started to make his move.
It was on lap 22 when Johnson took the lead away from Prentice. Once in front Johnson never looked back and went on to his third straight victory. Johnson came from the 15th starting position and was able to race anywhere he needed to on the multi-groove surface. Prentice had to settle for second with Decker third. Tim McCreadie edged Tim Fuller in a photo finish for the fourth position.
