Rick Ravon qualified on pole, led most laps and took the checkered flag in Long Beach, but not without a fight. Season 2 newcomer Theo Schleret was fastest in practice but opted to start from the back end of the pack. He worked his way forward quickly and was the fastest car on the track. He was lucky when Breuning spun around to get by without any problems. Breuning misjudged the line a back marker was taking and a slight touch of the break mid turn sent him around.
Ravon drove defensive and when he pitted it was Schleret’s move to make a few fast laps. But something sounded off, as if he was saving fuel and maybe even having the engine sputter, when he spun around coming onto the back stretch. It sounded like he threw it in the wrong gear.
With Schleret off, Breuning regained 2nd and finished 15 seconds behind Ravon. Wade Tschida rounded out the podium.
