In the Pro class, it was Ben Seever leading the way with Josh Watson and Dusty Williams putting on a great battle for second. Seever would continue to lead but Watson would reel in and look to pass Seever for the lead with five laps remaining but the outside line was not working for Watson. The outside would finally work for Watson as he would get around Seever for the lead and the win.
