Taylor Jordan started from pole position and initially pulled away fairly quickly from Day, Brown, Breuning and Warren as they were battling each other. After a yellow, the field bunched up again and Day took the lead briefly, but slight touch in turn 1 with Jordan, as both went for the same real estate, possibly damaged his suspension, because later that lap he spun out of turn 3/4 while still leading. Warren got collected in that and both had to get repairs. In the 2nd part of the race, it appeared Brown and Breuning were hanging behind Jordan a little better, but neither ever got to be a real threat. Jordan won the race ahead of Brown and Breuning, with Andrew Forrester happily grabbing 4th and Ian Wilson in 5th.

Taylor Jordan qualified on pole and once the green flew, he didn’t look or hold back. He was pulling away instantly and while George Sandman had good pace and ran the fastest lap a few times before it was all said and done, he couldn’t reel in the leader. Behind Sandman, the ‘2nd league’ was led by Breuning in 3rd. Patrick Day recovered to 4th from an earlier contact with the wall and Bill Smithem rounded out the top 5.

Starting from Pole Position, Taylor Jordan was a factor at the front of the field all race long and he wound up leading the most laps as well. As always at Gateway, the racing was close, fast and furious. At times a bit too close. Several yellows slowed down the pace, but the green flag would ignite things instantly.

A late crash between Colley and Smithem caused the race to finish under yellow, with Taylor Jordan leading, Don Warren in 2nd and Breuning in 3rd, both a lap down from earlier problems. Craig Hawkins and Bill Colley rounded out the top 5.

Rafael Rodrigues qualified on the pole of a strong 24 car field for the Indy 100. As usual the racing was very close and some drivers were probably too ambitious too early. There were several yellows following pile ups, because if something goes wrong while racing in a close pack, it goes wrong big.

At the end, only three drivers survived the mayhem: Rodrigues, Craig Hawkins and Patrick Day, who duked it out for the win clean and respectful. Rodriguez beat Hakwins to the line by 0.007 of a second, with Day right on their tail. Of the 24 cars started, 3 reached the finish line with 0.08 of a second!

Pederson and Shinoski were 4th and 5th, though not rolling at the end.
