On the start, Whittall settled into the 6th place position before advancing into the top 5 by passing Troy Betts on lap 9. Whittall continued to race in the 5th position before passing the 33 of Bill Unglert and advancing into the 4th position. Whittall used a late race pass to take 3rd from URC part timer Scott Flammer on lap 21. After the feature, an elated Whittall reported that the car was running great and he wished he had some more laps to see if he had anything for 2nd place Curt Michael.
