Buzz Mayfield trailed in seventh at the end of the first lap but worked his way to fifth by the end of the race, ahead of Rheinlander. Meanwhile, among the Pros, Reed led Derek Gerdes, Nathan Hale and Adam Mennenga. Mennenga passed Hale for third, but Hale got Mennenga back. Mennenga harassed Hale for two more laps, passing him on the last lap to take third at the checkers. Reed and Smith both repeated their holeshot efforts in moto two. Mennenga chased Reed in second in the Pro ranks, while J.J. Pecsok chased Smith off the gate in the Intermediates. Pecsok held second for two laps before Doughty moved by on the third lap. Waylon McCulloch charged from ninth on the first lap to finish fourth, displacing Watts on the final lap. Smith grabbed both holeshots in the 125cc Open class for a double moto win.
