Championship leader Rasmussen qualified down in ninth but picked up a spot from Pierson. That put him in sight of his main title rival, Nolan Siegel, who ran seventh.Foster chased down McElrea, causing him to defend for the first time at Turn 1 with 13 laps remaining. Foster then got a run on the back stretch but couldn’t find a way past there either.McElrea then ran wide at Turn 7, so Foster attacked at the next opportunity but McElrea turned in and they collided.
“I went for a move and he turned in on me and I got damage,” said Foster. “It’s the second time it’s happened with that driver, and I expected more space from a team-mate.”That promoted Roe to second from Gold, Abel and Simpson. Rasmussen worked his way up to sixth, ahead of a chargingThe drama wasn’t over at the front, however, as McElrea hemorrhaged time to Roe in the closing laps. They started the last lap less than 0.5s apart, but McElrea hung on by 0.437s at the checkered flag.
