Starting from the pole, Breuning led all the way at Belle Isle, where many struggle on the slippery surface. Patrick Day, starting on P2 was an early victim on still cold tires, but he fought his way back to the podium in 3rd. Bill Smithem ran 2nd, and he closed in steadily on Breuning at the end coming from over 5 seconds down to challenge the leader with the checkered in sight: Breuning held on by 0.099 seconds to take victory. Race shouldn’t have been a lap longer..
