The ensuing restart saw the Kostelansky machine leading Harris second and Mike Schane shooting low off turn 4 overtook Clemens for 3rd.

The white flag waved and Harris took a shot at the leader in turn 1, Kostelansky pulled the 9cat off the second turn and stayed out front. Harris layed back a bit and then entering turn 3 Harris took another shot at the leader and pulled even off turn 4.
