Jordan led the field to the green flag with George Sandman behind him and once the racing started, that’s how it remained. Although Sandman did get fairly close to the leader, he wasn’t in a position to take over. Behind them, losing about a second per lap, it was Breuning and Smithem – also without much fight between them. It was Larry Eaglen that rounded out the top 5 on the street course of Belle Isle, which always takes a few victims and this race was no different.

It was Bill Smithem that led the field to the green flag, but Taylor Jordan soon made it past him. Breuning – coming from 5th on the grid got up to 2nd quickly and started giving Jordan a little work. Unfortunately, on lap 39, the racing got a little too close and they touched going into turn 3, with Breuning violently slamming into the wall. His fast repair saved his day but put him 2 laps down.
Bill Colley and Bill Smithem took over the challenge but never got close enough, despite a late yellow bunching them back up to the leader. Jordan won, followed by Colley, Ian Wilson, Smithem and Chris Brown rounding out the top 5.

Taylor Jordan led the field to the green flag having qualified fastest at the brickyard. The first (and only) yellow came on lap 3, when Breuning and Wilson touched lightly going into turn 3. Breuning spun and hit the wall and needed a tow with fast repairs to continue. He did so, one lap down and in 15th spot.
The racing was intense as always until the green flag pitstops started stretching the field. Those who did find a draft partner saved fuel. Taylor Jordan had the race in hand and took the win, followed by Don Warren and Bill Smithem. Bill Colley scored a strong 4th and Dewane Kinner rounded out the top 5.

George Sandman was on the pole taking the field to the green flag. Maybe a little hesitation on the call, it was Taylor Jordan that responded right on thee green and he took the lead instantly.
Jordan, Sandman and to a lesser extent Breuning led the field, with Breuning dropping back bit by bit, unable to keep the blistering pace up front. Sandman got close a few times, but Jordan held him off and managed to keep him at bay. He won the race, with Sandman and Breuning on the podium. Don Warren took 4th after initial problems early on and Larry Eaglen was 5th.

Opening the new season at Phoenix, it was defending champion Taylor Jordan on the pole. Initially he got away by about 1.5 seconds, but Breuning reeled him in.

On the final pitstops, Don Warren was out quickets and took the lead ahead of Jordan. Breuning and Smithem were right on their tail. Warren managed to hold of Jordan by 0.004 of a second, Breuning was 3rd and Smithem 4th; Haiden Wheeler was 5th and the top 5 cars were within 0.6 seconds of each other!
