Dalton Herrick and Alysha Bay led the field to the green with the duo battling for the top spot throughout the early stages of the race. As Herrick and Bay were entertaining the large Afton crowd via the low and middle grooves, Trombley took the Warren Alexson owned number 3A to the top side. Trombley would close in and take the lead.
Bay and Herrick would continue to put on a show for the fans, only now for positions two and three. Meanwhile fifth place starter Peter Dance and eighth place starter Darryl Ruggles began making waves. Dance and Ruggles battled for the fourth and fifth positions before Ruggles controlled fourth for good.
