Andrew Pearce moved into second on lap nine before a yellow flag flew for Connolly. Keller led the restart with Jacob Mallet Jr. moving past Pearce and into second. Mallet made a backstretch pass on Keller on lap 11 for the lead.
Pearce and Keller ran closely behind Mallet in the battle for second. A low pass on lap 19 put Keller into the lead with Pearce following into second. Keller went on to the impressive win with Pearce and Mallet running nose to tail behind him. Jeremy Hoff and Fraser completed the top five.
