Kevin Cahan led the charge into the fir st
tum and he ld the lead position through the first

Gutierrez and Danny Cooper. Wickham mo ved
around Hach tel in the sa n d y whoop se ction
befo re co ming back onto the start str a ightaway.
As th e leade rs made th eir wa y ou t of "Bud 's
C re e k," Gah a n was no w being h ou n d e d by
Wickh am . They were si de by side in the series
of two tabletops, but Wickha m held the ins ide
lin e o n the hard left-ha nd Co rn e r, ta kin g th e
lead . But that was onl y tt'm po ra ry, as Gahan got
back around Wickh am as they dropped into th e
sand pit, with Ha chtel sti ll in contention. sitt ing
third.
Ga ha n went wide a nd got in to the mushy
stu ff of the right-hand tum after the descending
tab let op, a nd bo th Wickh am and Hachtel wen t

closed the ga p on lap two. W ickham tried the
inside move on th e tablet op s, but got shut dow n
by Ha chtel. Wickh am tried. to ou td rive Ha ch tel
from the outsid e in the sa nd pit - but there wa s
not eno ugh ro o m . It fina lly happened on th e
lo nger sa n d y whoop sect io n. Wickham had
