Another great CBR Cup race. Having led the race from the start lights, Eric Green was very unfortunate to lose his one second lead on the last lap avoiding a bird strike. Thomas Casas and Stacey battled hard all race long swapping positions regularly. The hot pace saw Stacey break the lap record on lap 4 only for Thomas break it again on lap 5. On the last lap Thomas, now in second, drafted past Eric on the back straight. Stacey took the opportunity of a double draft pass to take the lead into the fast right at the end of the straight. Thomas managed to hold off a very disappointed Eric for second.
On the final lap Stacey set a new lap record, bettering the previous by nearly one second, in a time of 2:17.874
