Slack. riding in his legendary farm-boy baggies, led the charge down the starting-line straight and into the hard-left first tum. He stayed out in front as Ballard, Spaulding and Garcia closed in toward the top position. On lap three, Garcia and Spaulding swapped spots, but on the very next lap Garcia had problems and lost his advantage, dropping far back in the standings. The rider on the move was Steve Swisher, and on the fifth lap he nailed down the fourth position, ahead of Ross Robertson.
