Jeff Gallup took the early lead in the division, followed by Paul Kusheba IV, who maintained the advantage on the restart following the race's only caution. Chadwick started 10th in the field, but made his way to the front and remained there. Joe Gada of Salem was second and Rob Janovic Jr. of Waterford was third.
