Though out the 75-lap feature paint and positions were swapped left and right. Blinking meant you missed some of the action. Brian Mason led a good portion of the race even going side by side with Stacy Cahoon for awhile, but was surpassed by the points leader, Rick Thompson Jr. of Newport, Vermont.
