Working his way back out, Snortdand fought Draskovich and once more, regained second. When the finish line loomed ahead of them, Turner led the way with Snorteland and Draskovich respectively. When the machines came to life the second time around, Draskovich led the charge with Snorteland tight in second and Bill Keefe piloting his Can-Am into third.

Coming in for the final race of the day Turner grabbed the victory, Gillman ran into problems and was forced out of second, leaving it open to Snorteland and Kirker settled into third.
