Yamaha / Ballance Racing’s Taylor Kiser was flipped over in the first turn, but Kiser was on a mission, and he quickly began working his way up through the pack with each passing lap. Kiser soon went from sixth place into third and was looking smooth and consistent, but Chris Bithell was close at hand, waiting for Kiser to make a mistake.

Can-Am / Warnert Racing's #3 Adam McGill claimed the final spot on the Podium
Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Adam McGill, who is in second in championship points, would need to win the final three rounds of the series if he were to dethrone Chris Borich and it looked as if he could possibly do just that. McGill took the early lead in lap one and was holding steady going into the second lap, but Chris Borich was staying close, waiting for an opportunity to take the lead. McGill was looking strong, but was unable to hold his lead and fell back to the number four spot after getting hung up in some lap traffic. McGill remounted a charge and made his way back to the lead briefly, but fell back to third, where he would stay until reaching the checkered flag.

“I got a good start and was leading for the first couple of laps. I fell back but was able to retake the lead, but I fell back again and finished in third. I had a good time out there anyway and it was a good race, so I’m pretty happy,” said McGill.

Warnert Racing's #4 Chris Bithell also made an impressive charge from the back of the pack to secure the 4th spot
Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Chris Bithell didn’t get the best start, but he more than made up for it as he put the hammer down and charged his way through traffic. By the second lap, Bithell had moved into fourth place and was within striking distance of Taylor Kiser, who was holding down third. Bithell was looking fast and smooth, but he was unable to better his position before reaching the checkered flag and would settle for a fourth place finish.

National Guard/Yokely Racing’s Jarrod McClure was looking good as he charged off the start and quickly moved into the number three spot. McClure would drop back to fifth by the second lap, but stayed close to the leaders, as they were all within just a couple seconds of each other. McClure stayed fast and consistent and chose good lines, which allowed him to round out the top five at the finish line.
