In the Pacific Sprint Division, the feature event started off with newcomer Chris Wilson of Auburn taking the lead from his pole starting position. As Wilson muscled his way to a healthy lead, Sellers started the event from the fourth position and went to battle with Greg DeCaires and Richard Brace Jr. for the next two positions.
As early as the fourth lap, Wilson was approaching lapped traffic, which result in his once distant lead diminishing to a mere car length ahead of Sellers, who had maneuvered past both DeCaires and Brace in the early laps. After playing cat and mouse with Wilson for several laps, Sellers went to the high side of turns three and four and took the lead as entering the front stretch on the 11th circuit…
…With a three lap sprint to the finish after the red flag, Sellers continued to race the higher line on all four corners of the track with DeCaires just inches behind the two time track champion all the way through the final corner of the last lap. At the finished, Sellers picked up the win, followed by DeCaires, Wilson, David Robinson Jr. and Brace.”

Richard Brace Jr. impressed with a four-lap trophy dash win.
The battle between Adam McCarthy and Lindt for the lead continued on the restart, and while Silveria held third, the battle between Arriage, DeMartini and Richard Brace Jr.for fourth was a good one. Working lap 16, DeMartini made an inside front stretch pass on Brace for fifth, but his inside move on Arriaga in turn one for fourth resulted in contact with both driving up in turn two. Brace was now fourth and Arriaga coasted to a stop out of turn four for a yeloow after 16 laps. The race was ended at that point due to time with Adam McCarthy the happy winner ahead of Lindt, Silveira, Brace and Brent Dothage.
