McGill dominated a majority of the two-hour race
but it wasn't until the final moments that things
began to heat up. On the final lap, Fowler caught
the rear wheel of McGill and the two battled through
the final turns of the sandy Florida soil. With
lapped traffic scattered throughout the course,
McGill and Fowler were forced to take alternative
lines. Fowler capitalized on the opportunity to
make his way into the lead, while McGill got stuck
behind lapped traffic. Fowler went on to capture
the first win of the season, with McGill only
two seconds behind for the runner-up position.
