It was Don Warren starting from the pole in St.Louis, but he dropped off early on and fell even further back after a spin. The same fate came to Breuning, who fell back 3 laps after being caught off guard by Passmore washing up on the exit of turn 2.

It was Cooke and Erter with Passmore that were battling hard for the honors at the end, with Erter unfortunately losing it on the penultimate lap coming off turn 2. However, he was still ahead of Breuning in 4th, who was 3 laps down on the leaders at that point. Cook won, Passmore was 2nd, Erter remained on the podium despite the spin. Breuning and Forrester rounded out the top 5.

Mike Zakar started from the pole at Indy and the racing was close and furious as always. A three wide attempt into turn one knocked out a few drivers, amongst which was Zakar, unfortunately.

Breuning got caught up as well, took his fast repair and dropped a lap down, but a later yellow fell his way and he got back on the lead lap – but off sequence on pit strategy. A late yellow bunched them up with 10 to go. On the final lap, Smithem led Breuning coming off turn 4. Breuning went high to try and pass him but touched Mike Erter’s car and send him and himself into the wall. Cooke took the inside line and beat Smithem to the bricks by 0.047 of a second. Breuning limped to 3rd, Chris Brown got 4th and Erter made it to 5th.
