Pauch would soon find himself in a battle with Rick Laubach who had Duane Howard hot on his heels. Laubach and Howard would both get by Pauch and put their focus on going after DeSantis. As the laps wound down, DeSantis began to feel the pressure from the drivers in second and third spots and with one lap to go, Laubach would pull ahead of DeSantis, leaving him to battle with Howard coming to the checkers. As the checker flag flew, it was Rick Laubach who went to Victory Lane followed by Duane Howard, Meme DeSantis, Billy Pauch Jr. and John Willman.
