Jim Melis and Paul Pokorski filed in right behind with Kyle Marten gaining. Lap 7 Goeden encountered his first lapped car of Kevin Seidler who caught a lucky break when an uncommon error occurred, a “Flagman Yellow” (flagman saw a sprint sideways expecting a spin). Sprint rule “any 360 spin results in a yellow”. Driver was not penalized since he regained control and did not spin out. Green flag waved again, Pokorski passed Melis for second in his hunt for Goeden. Josh Walter, Shane Wenninger and Justin Miller had their own little show going on battling out sixth position.
