Confirmed champion Rick Ravon qualified his #1 machine on pole once again at Watkins Glen, but his lead role was short lived when he missed a shift and spun, lucky not to hit anything. He continued and had his work cut out for him. On the second lap, front row qualifier and new leader Sean Langton found similar fate when he overdid it on the throttle just a little, but enough to spin him around. Hamby, who was faster at the start than Breuning, took the lead and was faster than anyone pursuing him. He pitted on the same lap as Breuning did, but somehow the tank didn’t get filled enough and he had to make a second stop just before the end, handing Breuning the win free and clear. Ravon saw his effort to catch up rewarded with 2nd and Hamby rounded out the podium finishers.
