Rick Ravon survived without any problem at Belle Isle, where others were not so lucky. He started from the pole, closely followed by Breuning and Hamby. Hamby was unfortunately caught in the spin of Jason Crumley and bent his suspension. He pursued after a pitstop, but then decided the car wasn’t drivable. Breuning, still chasing after Ravon, messed up in turn 11 with too much wheel spin and hit the outside wall. That left Ravon unchallenged, with Steve Kubay picking up the pieces for second and Doug Small for third!

It was Johnny Hamby that qualified on the pole, with Ravon alongside him. Ravon took the lead early on in the race. After the second caution it was Jason Crumley running strong up front, but Rick Ravon did reel him in and re-took the lead.
The yellows shook things up a bit and Ravon’s final pitstop took longer than most, handing the lead to the strong running newcomer Tyler Graaf. He held on to the lead in the final stretch, although Ravon was coming closer; A spin by 4th placed Jason Crumley brought out the caution and Graaf took the checkered under yellow.

Bruce Clingan led the way from pole position and early in the race there was a group of 5-7 cars fighting hard up front. A slight touch between Zakar and Kubay thinned out the leading pack, but newcomers Clingan and Caamano were right up there battling, as well as Ravon, Hamby and Chris Brown.
After the final (green flag) pitstop it came down to Breuning, Hamby and Ravon; Off turn 4 on the last lap it was Breuning leading, but he admitted he was just a sitting duck for both Hamby and Ravon. The reigning champion beat Hamby to the line by 0.039 seconds to score his 3rd consecutive Indy 100 win!
