Sandholm then raced to the win and became the sixth different driver to win an A-Main in the division this season. Chris Piquette of Random Lake also used the inside groove to move up from the fourth row to finish in second. It was the best finish of the season for Piquette. Jim Zdroik of Big Bend, who started alongside Piquette, also had his best run of the season with a third place finish. Russ Reinwald of Iron Ridge charged from the ninth row to finish in fourth.

Czarapata is the fifth different driver to win an A-Main in the division this season. He is also the only driver to win an A-Main in more than one division as he won in the modified division back in June. Tommy Moore of Muskego drove to second ahead of Schumacher.
