With two laps to go, Wolfskill's number came up. While Pinney was • held up in the whoops by a lapped rider, Wolfskill charged his SportCycle Suzuki/WR Racing-sponsored RM250 into the lead. Pinney picked up the chased immediately, but was unable to regain the lead. Wolfskill took the win with Pinney second, Randall Everett third, Mickey Pentoney fourth and Randy Rudisill fifth.
