Mark Smith started seventh in the 23-car field for the finale.

Unfortunately, the first lap melee involved Davie Franek, Columbus, Indiana’s Tony Stewart, Danny Smith from Chillicothe, Ohio, Dale Howard from Byhalia, Mississippi, Max Stambaugh from Elida, Ohio and Greg Wilson from Benton Ridge, Ohio. All of these were able to restart in the rear of the field except Franek and Danny Smith. On the complete restart from the new order, Danny Martin, Jr. grabbed the lead from Leoffler and raced out front with Mark Smith chasing him through the soon to be encountered lap traffic. This battle insued while Leoffler fought to hold off two-time USCS Champion Morgan Turpen from Cordova, Tennessee for the third spot. Stewart and Dale Howard advanced quickly back through the field while defending National Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee held down the fifth position. As the battle continued up front, Smith raced past Martin on the back stretch of the racey ΒΌ mile oval into the lead on lap nineteen. Stewart and Howard continued to battle for a spot in the top five. In the end after swapping spots several time, Stewart bested Gray and Howard for the final top five spot with Howard sixth at the checkered flag. Gray followed in seventh place, Mallie Shuster from Newville, Pennsylvania was eighth, Shane Morgan from Gulfport, Mississippi was ninth and Ronny Howard from Nesbit, Mississippi completed the top ten.
